Gary Varvel: Al-Aqsa Flood - one year later

New Humor Me cartoon plus Kamala's very bad week

Oct 15, 2024

Last month, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed along with 30 other leaders in Israeli airstrikes on Beirut. Filling those hot seats may be difficult in the near future.

It has been a year since Hamas’ "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood," on October 7, 2023 when terrorists brutally killed over 1,200 innocent civilians and took 250 hostages. Israel can no longer co-exist along side of terrorists who are determined to kill the Jews. So the Israeli Defense Force IDF has been eliminating the threat.

But the world has responded by protesting Israel and the Jews. On the anniversary of the massacre, pro-terrorist demonstrators, I mean, anti-Israel protesters marched in the streets of New York.

In this thread are 3 cartoons that I drew immediately after the massacre.

1. Reports at the time claimed that Iran helped Hamas in their attack which led to the cartoon above. Iran’s leaders have called for the destruction of Israel. They believe they are doing Allah’s will. They are actually doing the will of Satan.

2. Americans were among the hostages taken by Hamas. This reminded me of the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979. So I drew the cartoon above.

Question: Why are the surrounding people groups attacking Israel? Because the devil wants to destroy God’s plans for Israel. Terrorist groups (Hamas and Hezbollah) are the devil’s puppets.

Zechariah 12:2 says, “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem.”

Notice from this verse that the ‘surrounding peoples’ will, at some point, “lay siege” against central Israel and Jerusalem. Hamas and Hezbollah are drunk with hatred toward the Jewish people. This war is going to get worse before it gets better.

3. Hamas terrorists hide behind civilians in residential areas to launch their rockets at Israel.

After Israel killed the Hezbollah leader, Iran launched a ballistic missile attack against Israel on October 4. Now, the world awaits Israel’s response which promises to be extensive.

We are living in Biblical times. Deuteronomy 30:7, “The Lord your God will inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate and persecute you.” No nation on earth is hated as much as Israel. The devil wants to destroy the Jews in order to stop the plan of God. But the Bible says:

Jeremiah 31: 35-37
“Thus says the Lord,
Who gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs the sea,
And its waves roar
(The Lord of hosts is His name):
³⁶“If those ordinances depart
From before Me, says the Lord,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.”
³⁷Thus says the Lord:
“If heaven above can be measured,
And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
For all that they have done, says the Lord.

Notice that these verses say, Israel will never cease to be a nation unless we can change the laws of nature. Iran and its proxies can chant “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” until the cows come home but Israel is here to stay.

Actor Jim Caviezel spoke at the Right to Life of Northeast Indiana last night to a crowd of 3,000. It was the largest Right to Life banquet in the country. Caviezel’s speech was very inspiring.

We were fortunate to meet him briefly. Someone caught this candid shot of us as we were about to pose for a photographer. I was telling Jim that my wife and I are fans of his work and that we were watching Person of Interest again. He said, “You’ve never seen it before?” I said, “We’re watching it for the second time.”
