Christianity EtcRe: Holy Spirit turns Samson to Killing Machine by ISelectMySins: 9:22am On Mar 03, 2024
AntiChristian:
Verses in Question


The Spirit of the Lord helped Samson here indeed! But I think the Philistine's Delilah has more strength than a Lion! And where was the Spirit when Delilah came to cuddle Samson?



Wait? Where did the anger come from? Did the spirit of the Lord inspire the killing?
Samson still had many failings being tempted by a women and ended up committing suicide with his enemies according to the Biblical Narrations! I still can't explain why God helped Samson marry a Philistine wife that won't be loyal to him! And why kill people to satisfy someone's useless riddle? O God!

So why do I need this Spirit to understand the Bible?

The Spirit of the Lord can still enter someone today and that person will still kill others like Samson!

Your knowledge of the times and season and of biblical exegesis is very poor. Let me answer you.

Every nation needs a paramount ruler. The ruler directs the affairs of the nation, instructs the people, settles dispute, and is usually the commander in charge of the nation's armed forces.

If a nation goes for the offensive or accepts conditions of peace when war is waged against it would usually depend on this paramount ruler. In times past and even now, some call them King. When Israel became a nation, they didn't have one. God is their paramount king, so to speak.

But God is not physically on earth, so he sends his representatives. They were called Judges. One of his representatives was a Nazirite. A special Nazirite at that because he was so from birth. In fact, Samson was an involuntary Nazirite because he didn't choose to be one. God chose him and set him apart. The spirit of God was mightily upon him right from the time an angel announced his birth.

As God's representative, he was supposed to deliver the Israelite from the hands of the Philistines. Like any ruler at loggerheads with rival nation, every occasion he had with the Philistine was supposed to create an opportunity to defeat them - even his desire to court different Philistine women was God at work, creating a good opportunity for Samson to defeat them and liberate the Philistines.

I read your post again and concluded that you're asking so many irrelevant questions.

You said

> But I think the Philistine's Delilah has more strength than a Lion!

Bad syllogism. Samson killed a Lion and Delilah killed Samson then she has more strength than him. Where is your reasoning? Don't you know the difference between deceit and murder? She deceived him. She didn't kill him. He is human after all, with his own inclinations.

You also said

> And where was the Spirit when Delilah came to cuddle Samson?

God's spirit is still with him. God's spirit left him when his hair was cut. In fact, there are times when God's spirit in his servant conceal information from them. God's spirit is not there to instruct Samson on whom to date, what information to share with strangers, what food to eat, what to tell his parents and more. God's spirit is primarily for empowerment - to strengthen him like no other, since warfare are primarily a matter of STRENGTH.

You said

> Wait? Where did the anger come from? Did the spirit of the Lord inspire the killing?

Yes, God's spirit inspired the killings. All other submissions are inconsequential.


I asked a question and not a single Muslim has been able to answer me. Be a man.

THEGALADIMA:
In as much as I would try to commend your efforts at starting an intellectual convo, my dear friend you succeeded in making no sense.

Why is the omission or inclusion of Daniel a deal breaker.
Thanking you for taking your time to read what I wrote.

Religious books are not just books of do's. They are also supposed to instruct people on heresy and ungodly paths. Sins of commission - what we do - are just as bad as the ones we fail to do - omit, or sins of omission. It is a big deal, my friend, a very big deal breaker, you cannot just omit a divine revelation. I am going to try to argue your cause.

Now, suppose the book of Daniel was omitted for one of the following reasons. I will try to cover all possible possibilities.

1. The events written therein never happened at all - there was no Daniel in Babylon who tells the king his dream and then goes ahead to interpret it; there was no Nebuchadnezzar who ruled in Babylon at so-and-so time, there was no fiery furnace prepared by the King whose hotness killed the kings bodyguards but which did not scorch the three Hebrew men; there was no handwriting on the wall; Daniel's vision of when the anointed one would come, his vision of the ram and goat, his vision of the future and that of the human race, et al, are all forgeries. They never happened. There was not a Daniel in the Lions den. Everything in the Book of Daniel are pure forgeries. They never happened.

2. Not everything in the book are forgeries. Some events in the book happened, but most did not. Daniel was probably in a Cheetah's den, the handwriting on the wall was caused by a little boy, Nebuchadnezzar existed but his father had more authority than he did, et al. In this case, the original book is corrupted - truth mixed with lies.

3. Not everything in the book are forgeries. Most events in the book happened, but some did not. Daniel was in the Lion's den with his friends. The three Hebrew men got a revelation that they should not bow down and God actually manifested himself, et al.

4. Muhammad was not aware that such a book existed (the book was written in a strange land - Babylonia) and if he knew, he couldn't read it.

5. Allah, for his own good purpose, didn't reveal the occurrence to Muhammad for whatever reasons.

I am not supposed to include (2) and (3) as omission because partial forgeries are no reasons for omission. I don't even know why I am calling this omission because ignorance is not the same as omission. The Quran has a knack for exposing forgeries or partial forgeries with its own narratives. it never keeps mum when people err in their beliefs as it regards to God. Hence, (2) and (3) cannot be said to be reasons why the Quran doesn't talk about it.

Now on (5). Why would God reveal a book to the Jewish and even pagan communities in Babylon that screams of his omnipotence, omniscience, ability to predict the future with absolute certainty, his love, his watchfulness towards those who are faithful to him, and not reveal it to Muhammad? I have to ask you, is the book an esoteric book that talks about things that should not be known by his creature? If God did not hide his absolute power in narrating with great detail how the world came about and how man came about, why would he want to conceal this? After all, the book is not just all about miracles, miracles, miracles, power. It talks about other things that God wants us to know, too.


Again, I have to hammer on (5) because this, to me, is the Muslim's ONLY forte: why would God conceal his handiwork from his servants which he wrought through those who were faithful to him in a strange land. Isn't this supposed to be a prop for faith especially to Muslims and Arabs in particular who claim that Ishmael is as much a partaker of the covenant? Isn't this supposed to be evidence even for Muhammed that miracles can happen in any land, not just in Jewish lands. Does he need more proof than this book to confound those who argue with him?

A Korean would not be able to read Chinese and vice versa even though they seem to share a common writing system and used the same alphabet in the past.

FxMasterz:
The book of Daniel was not written in a language Mohammed could understand so he had to avoid the book at all cost. I'm sure he didn't even know that any prophet such as Daniel existed.

Meanwhile, Adam was a prophet according to Islam. Jokers.
What you said in the bolded: absolutely, I agree with you a million percent. I actually want someone to prove me wrong. Seems I might have to move my train of thought to Reddit where a lot of erudites would share their opinion on the subject.

In fact, if you do not understand a language especially one that has a different lettering system, you could hardly make head or tail of what is said or its content. You don't know if it's an erotic message, an instruction on how certain recipes are made or a divine message. You can't make a head or tail of anything. And not just that, because of its language barrier, it hardly flies around.

If Muhammad is indeed a prophet of God and got his message by divine revelation, then why is it that God didn't inspire him with this message? After all, the Quran is supposed to be a complete book and a guide for mankind.

Here is the thing my friend: a large bulk of the miracles (chapter 2 to chapter 7) of the book were written in Aramaic - the language of Babylonia and for good reasons too. If the miracles in the book didn't happen, they could have shut it down. Completely! Totally! I wonder what rebuttals our Islamic apologist would give in this instance because a lot of apocryphal and deutero-cannoical books which are not acceptable by mainstream Christian and Jewish communities is in the Quran. I wonder what apology would be given

The God of Daniel is my God.

If we talk of prophetic books in the Hebrew bible, you'd definitely talk of Daniel. Bar Ezekiel no other book is as prophetic as Daniel. Why then is the Quran silent about him? grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Dear muslims in the house, ayam waiting.
Christianity EtcI Don't Think The Quran's Claims Of Divine Authorship Is Genuine. Prove Me Wrong by ISelectMySins(op):
There are many reasons why (I believe) the Quran could not be from God. Let me share one with you.

It is this: the omission of the book of Daniel -- his deeds and acts!

I recently started to meddle in the Quran. I downloaded an English version. Pressed Ctrl + F and then typed Daniel. Viola, nothing.

To my utmost surprise, no mention of Daniel is made.

Nothing at all. Not even in a passing remark or a very brief summary. As in - nada!

Then, I come to the conclusion that something is fundamentally wrong somewhere and I want Muslim nairalanders to prove me wrong.

The book is rich in everything. From start to finish, the book screams of divine power, divine love, God's watchfulness, God's omniscience, God's oneness, you name it. How then can it be said that Islam's prophet omitted him?

I went back to my Bible and saw a footnote in my translation, the NLT, that says Chapter 2 : 4 and onwards to Chapter 7 was written in Aramaic. I had to take a very good look again maybe my eyes is paining me - written in Aramaic, I asked myself? Oh, I see.

I have had to ask myself countless times if language was the barrier because it clearly is.

Obviously, I mean, the Book wasn't available (or readable) in 5 - 6th century Arabia and hence the silence about his acts and deeds. But if that is the case, then clearly and logically, the Quran is not inspired.

Edit: You have to understand that at the tail end of Jewish monarchies, the people spoke Hebrew and Aramaic, so it is not unusual of Daniel who was an elite and of the royal house to speak and write in both languages.

Daniel clearly understood Aramaic and Hebrew. Classical or Imperial Aramaic was the main language of the Persian, Babylonian and Assyrian empires.

When Sennacherib would invade Judah; king Hezekiah sent ambassadors to meet with the Assyrian commander-in-chief and you can read their admission of both languages. They understood both languages.

Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the Assyrian chief of staff, “Please speak to us in Aramaic, for we understand it well. Don’t speak in Hebrew, for the people on the wall will hear.”

SportsRe: How Nigeria Can Beat Cameroon, Alhassan And Snr Man Must Start by ISelectMySins: 10:37pm On Jan 26, 2024
Daejumong:
Kelechi Iheanacho must replace Chukwueze in the starting line up. He is a more clinical finisher, more experienced , very good with free kicks and shots from long distances. He also has great passes and has a more business like approach . These are qualities we need in the final third that will relieve pressure on Osimhen and make us score loads of goals.
Alhassan for Iwobi.
Alhassan has stronger defensive abilities and decent attacking abilities. A 2 man pivot with Frank the tank is our best bet to tame the lions in midfield. Iwobi has been below par thus far.
My preferred line up
Nwabali

Ekong Omeruo Ajayi

Aina Alhassan Onyeka Bassey

Iheanacho Osimhen Lukmon

This team can win the Afcon
Truly, truly, when you see a good player, a quality player, you hardly recognize them.

In the history of Nigerian football, there has not risen a quality left footer like Samuel Chukwueze. And no, I am not kidding you. shocked grin cheesy

Anything you say makes little sense and won't sell much as long as he was recognized as the highest goal scorer in last season Serie A and CAF footballer of the year.
Being the highest goal scorer for a club that won the Scudetto in the same year is not out of the ordinary. I mean, if he isn't, then who? I mean, he is also the club's penalty taker.

I am extremely skeptical of anything African and my skepticism is not unfounded. Could you explain why one of Africa's finest in the person of Jay Jay Okocha, never won the award. It seems there is no laid down criteria for choosing the CAF Player of the year, or do you disagree?

I am NOT a patriotic Nigerian. I am just an objective one. In the end, this is just my opinion, but you can engage me, I am bored this early mor-mor. I have heard so much hype about this guy and I heard it again during our match yesterday. Osimhen baddest. Osimhen greatest! Osimhen this! Osimhen that!

Don't get it twisted, I am not talking with regards to the football match between Ivory Coast and Nigeria yesterday. I am just talking generally. Although he's a good finisher, I don't think Osimhen is a good player even for Serie A quality.

I could count not one or two qualify players I would choose before him. Or maybe I should say quality strikers.

I would choose Mbappe over him. Anytime, anyday, and twice on a Friday morning.

I would choose Lewandoski over him. Over and over again, yes.

I would choose Gabriel Jesus of Arsenal before him. I would choose Heung Son (of Totenham Hotspur) before him. These players are very, very comfortable when they hold the ball.

Osimhen doesn't seem to have maneuverable skills; seems he's scared when he's with the ball. Seems he's scared of losing possession.

He has the quality of a good finisher, no doubt, but that is just one of many qualities a striker should have. He doesn't enjoy holding the ball for long. A very, very big negative in my books.

So much hype from my country men about this guy but I would choose even his fellow teammate, Kvratshelia (of Napoli) over him. In all honesty and with no bias, I think Shelia is a far better player than Osimhen on all fronts. Whether for Napoli or the Super Eagles, he hardly touches the ball 15 times in any given match and I am dead serious. I would choose Harry Kane over him

Even though he is not a striker, I would choose Kelechi and Victor Moses over him, anytime, and anyday. People would often say A, B, C too dey hold ball, but hardly understand the dynamics of the game and why it is sometimes necessary to hold the ball for long. You cannot have a short one in your team and expect to do well in the long run. Any player that is not comfortable holding the ball for long whether a striker, a midfielder or even a defender is a short one. Yes, that's my own theory, haha.

Osimhen is not an intelligent player. There's a reason Messi is renowned as the best player known to mankind. His skills, intelligence, and ball possession. This is one of those qualities very, very few players posses.

What ya think?

It defies the resources of logic and tenets of democracy to continue turn a sitting governor to a mere remote control.

You are wrong. Sports arbitrage betting works but to get the odds dey hard. Take BB that there must be a winner, odd variance dey but to spot am be the wahala.
You cannot cover all the outcome of an event with predefined odds, i.e , odds before the event starts. It doesn't work. All the obvious loopholes have been closed unless a very smart fellow with a crunch for numbers uncovers any.

What do you mean by BB? Big brother? Let's say a particular bookie gives A to win the event at 4 odds and B at 12 odds. Then you can take it to the bank that there are at least 5 other contestants who are also likely to win. And suppose you choose to bet on these two because you think the winner is likely to be either of these. Then no, you didn't arbitrage because strictly speaking you didn't bet on all the other contestant and both might not even win it.

In an event where a winner is likely to be A and where there are other contestants, the highest you'd get is 2 odds, which effectively defeats arbitraging. Who do you think is tipped to win Europa- Liverpool. What is their odds to win it? Far less than their odd to defeat Union Saint Gilliose tonight.

I had to comment on the false idea of arbitrage betting being peddled by internet marketers. Don't fall for it.

See my comment here;https://www.nairaland.com/7910704/arbitrage-daily-games/3#127479777
SportsRe: Arbitrage Daily Games by ISelectMySins:
Your intentions is not clear. Is this sheer misinformation or dis-information?

Dear readers, don't fall for this scam.

Now, what is arbitrage betting? Arbitrage betting is a sports betting strategy that involves placing two (or more) wagers on a single sports event, so that all possible outcomes are covered.

You cannot arbitrage on the 1X2 markets or any two-sided markets like the overs and unders market because the odds (you see) have been calculated and re-adjusted to circumvent that. You can only hedge a bet.

Let me talk about arbitraging the 1x2 market for a minute. Let's say you want to make arbitrage bets on this market. Then it means you have to place three bets: one for home win 1, the second for a draw X, and the third for an away win 2; or you make a home win or draw bet which we call the 1x bet on one hand and an away win bet, which is called a 2 bet. In this instance, you only have to place two bets, not three.

To cover all the outcomes of this market and still be in profit, you need all the markets to have above three odds or even close since you are placing three bets with three outcomes. Unfortunately, the bookies do not give you that.

Unfortunately.

You would hardly find a game where that is the case. None, if you ask me. If you would rather place two bets, you need the first home win or draw to have odds above 2.5 and the away win to have odds of 3 and above. Again, it doesn't happen.

Let me talk about a two-sided markets, the over and unders markets.

Here, you cannot arbitrage on overs and unders because you cannot bet both sides of a sporting event and be in profit. You need both to have odds above two since you are placing two bets. Unfortunately, one has odds above two, sometimes three, even four and upwards (as you would see in the 1.5 markets) while the other has odds below 1.3, sometimes even as low as 1.1.

Let me use the 1.5 market. The pattern is like this: 1.5 ----- over 1.3 under 3.7
1.5 ----- over 1.13 under 6.7
1.5 ----- over 1.4 under 2.97

I am not going to paste for over 2.5 because it is also applicable.

You are never going to find a sum which when multiplied by the over and another sum which when multiplied by the under give a sum greater than the sum of money used for both. Whether it's the 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5 market, you wouldn't find. The bookies are smart. I am however currently playing with numbers and equations and trying to figure a way out. It's just that I get distracted quite a lot.

Please close this thread. Another user might be tempted to pay for a failed method that doesn't work.

Taking your commentary to its logical conclusion....women should never see male doctors.



And what if there is no female doctor?



Right, women should stay in the kitchen, and be barefoot and pregnant, in this Tinubu economy where a two income household cannot pay for everything.





Rubbish.


P.S You hate women. Better stop hating women. Simple. If a woman wants to comment on a male game so be it. If a man wants to comment on a woman game, so be it.
You didn't counter my points. You only reinforced what I said.

People should see whom they are comfortable with. You cannot accuse me of being misogynistic if I am not comfortable getting treated by a female doctor neither would you accuse a female of being a misandrist if she wants nothing to do with male doctors. It is what it is. People are comfortable with whom they are comfortable with. The poster highlighted why he is not comfortable with having female commentary and he's getting accused of misogyny. Shouldn't men partake in sports that is played, controlled, and commented on by their fellow men. Are you going to argue that there's no difference between the genders? If there's none, how did he know someone (the commentator) who isn't even visible to him on screen is a female? I have to honestly ask you that question.

Have you ever wondered why the sexes are not mingled in professional sports? Like, we don't have Arsenal men playing Liverpool women or men running with women in 100m relay or hurdles? Have you ever asked questions or wondered why?

Women should do their thing. They don't have to do their thing with men. I would not watch an all females sports event regardless of which and that's not because I am misogynistic. I would not even worship in a church with a female pastor.

And you talked of two income household and I have to ask you, is there a shortage of men for the role that they must hire women? Ask yourself. Everyone does what seems right to them, but it is not necessarily right to another person. Would you say LGBT inclusiveness and the captain armband and all that is not a big deal to those who have their reservations about that? Don't they have the right to watch football without anyone putting some fucking rainbow on their screen?

LOL, this is basically another misogynistic thread.

The painful thing is that many of these nairalanders who come here to say that woman is this and woman is that....many of them are doing so because some woman hurt them in the past, and as a result, all women are bad.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with women doing commentary on football. What is needed is a knowledge of the game, and if you know the game, good. If you don;t know the difference between offside, and onside and (unless you are a certain Chris Kamara), know when a player is sent off, it's good.

But one thing I am going to say to everyone commenting on this thread is simple. Stop hating women. Stop putting down women. It does not make you a better person, it only makes you look bitter and hateful. At the end you are going to father daughters, marry women and relate with women. You cannot do that if you think poorly and hate all of them

Before you people come and call me simp...yes, I know some women are bad, and yes some forms of femminism are basically misandrist propaganda. God knows I don't like it. But there is nothing wrong with a woman commenting. Better accept it...it is life, and that's how it is going to be.

Besides, I am even happy some women are taking an interest in football. It used to annoy me a lot when I was younger and see women who were proud to be ignorant about the beautiful game.
Did you see any female on the pitch? No. Is it too much to require that even the commentary be carried out by a male?

Would you accuse a woman of being a misandrist if she only wants the attention of a female doctor? No, I guess.

We need to stop this bullshit of inclusiveness.

The two genders are distinct in many ways and our voice is a primary example. I am not supposed to expatiate. You have to understand that just because I like football doesn't mean I would like to watch an all-females football match or I would like to watch an all males match with a female referee and it is wrong if I choose not to. There is no misogyny in the OP's content for many reasons.

sad Even though I'm a born again Christian, I thank the lord that despite israeli aggression the Palestinians are still standing strong. Isreal seems to be tiring and their declaration of ceasefire is a ruse. May our Lord Jesus continue to guide and protect the Palestinians against the evil of Israel Amen sad
Why do you have to start off every comment on this website with the bolded?

"Even though I'm a born again Christian."

Please stop it.

Even though you claim to be a born again Christian, your biases betray you. Whether you're a Christian, a Muslim, or a Jews, our religious beliefs form an essential part of our biases. It is our beliefs that cascade to form a large part of our prejudice (though, not all).

Unfortunately, you do not exhibit any bias that shows you're a born again. A born again Christian would show christian bias, just like a devout Muslim would show Islamic bias. I would admit though that you are the smartest (and not so smart) poster who is somewhat "contrarian" here. To get people to one's side, you have to identify with them which is what you are doing. Kudos.

However, you have to be smart about it by exhibiting some Christian bias. That way, people believe that you are just another born again christian with contrary opinion. Sometimes exhibit neutral bias, sometimes be staunchly christian in your biases, but do not exhibit anti-christian bias always while feigning to be a christian. Nobody would believe you.

It is common sensical (especially in this part of the world) that most Christians would naturally support Israel for diverse reasons. You are averse to that.

I wanted to quote a long list of your comments that betray a christian bias until I clicked your profile and saw your profile pics; then I knew you're a troll and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Nairalanders, please ignore this poster.

This is most likely NOT going to happen with that amount.

This is huge money, if you are to spend 1 dollar a day, it will take you 32 or 33 years to exhausted that money (not taking account of inflation).

To answer this your question of what only happens in the dream:

1 - I would splurge on properties to the tune of 500 million dollar (not only in Nigeria, also around Africa, Eastern Europe, Oil rich East Asia and West Asia ) Stay away from the west due to tax.

2 - 250 million dollars would be used to purchase stocks in U.S tech companies, U.S bonds, Chinese Bonds and Russia Bonds.

3- 100 Million dollars to tempt a successful business owner here in Nigeria and buy out his business, but strike a deal to keep him on the board of directors. That way I don't have to start a new business from scratch, thereby loosing money in uncharted territory.

4 - 70 million dollars to build a 4 star standard hotels and build shopping complexes in Lagos.

5 - 50 Million dollars would be converted to USTD to trade crypto on Binance. I would trade like a whale trader. A maker, shaker and manipulator of the market.

My money will pump up dead coins and as soon as volume comes into the market, I will dump on them, make twice my money back, rinse and repeat with another coin.


6 - 30 million dollars for my personal effects, family, moderate looking car or a Ford/Toyota Hilux truck.

Lastly, Profits from most of my holdings and investments will go to charities and Charitably course as my kids will inherit whatever business generated the profits.
Mehn, your acumen with regards to finances is fucking dope.

You would do very well, and should be open to consultations as a financial advisor or expert. Start charging 15k for a 4-weeks online course.

grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Just want to point out though that you wouldn't run of cash if you spend a dollar for 32 or 33 years. Heck, you wouldn't run out of cash if you spend a thousand dollars everyday for 32 years.

If you spend 1000 dollars everyday, in a year, you'd spend 365, 000 dollars. That should amount to 365, 000 times 32 in 32 years.

That's a paltry 11, 680, 000 ( eleven million six-hundred and eighty thousand dollars).

We are talking of a billion naira here. grin grin grin grin grin grin

AbuTwins:
But in the same vein holy spirit no dey forgive sin while God dey forgive all sin!

God the father is forgiving!
Jesus is forgiving!
Holy spirit is unforgiving!
But they are one!

Is holy spirit holding to the bitterness too?
And what stops a man having the holy spirit to hold on to bitterness since the sin against the holy spirit is not forgivable?
In an attempt to sound profound, you ended up sounding very stupid, no apologies.


You are treading a very dangerous path; going forward, I would advise you tread with extreme caution.

You're talking about the Holy Spirit loosely and with extreme profanity. Be very, very very careful.

RIP to hamas…You don’t mess with Israel because they don’t forgive or forget terror on their soil and they don’t read the New Testament. They read Old Testament which is patterned after mosaic laws of an eye for an eye. Na Israelis calm German people body, after waging WW1, Germans waged another war against the world- WW2 but their greatest undoing was killing jews. A lot of youngsters supporting Palestine today have never heard of the most powerful secret intelligence agency in the world which is Israeli mossad Aliya bet’. They smuggled out more than 6m jews from Europe to America during the world war and today they control most of the big businesses in US. Mossad went further to track, bring to trial and had sentenced to death all hitler’s henchman who participated in Jewish genocide, the last being Adolph heischmac who was tracked to Argentina inspite of the fact he did plastic surgery that changed his face, was tried in Nuremberg and executed courtesy of mossad - Go and read night the novel that won Elie Wiesel Nobel prize in literature for non fiction. During the 1973 Olympics Palestines killed almost the entire Jewish team but Israel mossad put together one of the deadliest strike forces ever known in human history led by Abner Levi. The Palestines that did the killings were all mowed down one after the other. They were killed all over Europe. One became an ambassador in Germany and was killed by a telephone bomb- the last one ran to an Arab country and they gave him the highest security in the country to avoid dying that was around 1975 but Abner and his men was able to break the immigration, country and hotel security to get him- they just told him “Munich 72” and he started crying before Abner killed him with a silencer gun- read the black September a non fiction which also have a movie adaptation that won the academy awards. In 1977 Idi Amin kept boasting he will deal with Jews that when the Palestines hijacked an Airplane going from Tel Aviv to London no nation in Middle East agreed to allow them land when they heard they were Jewish hostages but the foolish Amin agreed to allow them land in Uganda. Mossad coordinated a rescue mission never seen any where in the world- headed by Colonel Joseph Netanyahu- elder brother to the current prime minister Benjamin who was also part of the squad . They rescued the entire Israeli hostages of more than 200 people but Joseph was shot at the back by a dying Ugandan soldier and eventually died in Israel- Read the Non fictional book “Raid at Entebbe” which also has an award winning movie adaptation , that time they called themselves PLO while today they call themselves hamas so Israelis are not a stranger to these kind of crises
