  1. Me: Hello God.

    God: Hello…

    Me: I’m falling apart.
    Can you put me back together?

    God: I’d rather not.

    Me: Why?

    God: Because you’re not a puzzle.

    Me: What about all the pieces of my life that fall to the ground?

    God: Leave them there for a while. They fell for a reason.
    Let them be there for a while and then decide if you need to take any of those pieces back.

    Me: You don’t understand!
    I’m breaking!

    God: No, you don’t understand. You’re transcending, evolving.
    What you feel are growing pains. You’re getting rid of the things and people in your life that are holding you back.
    The pieces are not falling down. The pieces are being put in place.
    Relax.
    Take a deep breath and let those things you no longer need fall down.
    Stop clinging to pieces that are no longer for you.
    Let them fall.
    Let them go.

    Me: Once I start doing that, what will I have left?

    God: Only the best pieces of yourself.

    Me: I’m afraid to change.

    God: I keep telling you: YOU’RE NOT CHANGING!
    YOU’RE BECOMING!

    Me: Becoming, Who?

    God: Becoming who I created you to be! A person of light, love, charity, hope, courage, joy, mercy, grace and compassion.
    I made you for so much more than those shallow pieces you decided to adorn yourself with and that you cling to with so much greed and fear.
    Let those things fall off you.
    I love you!
    Don’t change!
    Become!
    Don’t change!
    Become!
    Become who I want you to be, who I created. I’m gonna keep telling you this until you remember.

    Me: There goes another piece.

    God: Yes. Let it be like this.

    Me: So… I’m not broken?

    God: No, but you’re breaking the darkness, like dawn.
    It’s a new day.
    Become!!
    Become who you really are!!”~

    1. Brilliant….EXCEPT WHAT YOU CALL “GOD” WAS “YOU” THE WHOLE TIME…I LOVE “YOU” ALL

  2. The US has been giving isreal free military equipment for the last 30 years this is nothing new.😞👎

    1. @shinto666 the Israeli are technically Palestinian as they came from that part of the world, Arabs come from the Arabian peninsula, different area,

    2. @R. Ben Madison If Israel didn’t pay for it it’s free. A subsidy is something that is subsides. Which means payed for by the USA tax paying citizens

    3. If I’ll give you 3$ only if you promise to buy only from me in at least 50$ is it really free money? We can buy weapons from France but the US not allow

    1. @Jock Young When will the Israelis pay back the Israelites they sold into slavery in USA and Brazil and the Indies?

    2. @Amr F Palestine free speech , freedom of religion doesn’t exist because of Muslims and the Palestine goverment which pretty much one and the same !!! there is no diversity in Palestine of religion because they will kill you if your a Christian or jew !!! Israel is the only country in the middle East who has freedom of religion there are thousands of Muslims in Israel who openly practice there religion no such thing exist for Jews or Christian in most muslim run countries

    3. @Ayub Mohmand maybe if the Palestinian government stops using civillian as shields , churches and schools to launch missles at Israel and actually sit down and ask for peace and not the complete destruction of Israel maybe then the wars will stop

  3. Slowly but surely, Israel and the Arab states will make peace. Eventually, even the Palestinian Authority will reach a final status deal with Israel. Complain all you want, but it’s only a matter of time at this point.

    1. No i agree with you it does seem like the middle east if left alone to work things out will indeed come together and work things out. In my opinion would be an amazing site to see. Very creative and rich nation and if they come together and 1 day become a 1 nation would be able to do amazing things.

    2. I definitely hope they all make peace, one Jew in a probably hostile comment section. Far too many years of unnecessary bloodshed that shouldn’t represent either people. Bad politicians can really hurt your cause.

    3. @Michael Wachendorf I don’t think it would work if they were left alone. They HATE Israel. Its taken Trump to really make the difference. Thats what changed. Its started around ecenomic partnerships… which is Trump’s strength.

    1. @Dixie Normous There is very little mutual support for the mostly homeless Sunni Arab Palestinians and the Shia Hezbollah militants. The biggest goal is to protect themselves against a common evil terrorist State of Israel. Having a common enemy is the only reason why they have not killed each other off in Syria and Lebanon. The Shite Hezbollah Army is more powerful than even Lebanon’s forces, and the Palestinians use some homemade rockets and their rock throwing children to combat their enemy Israel. Is having a common enemy the care you are mentioning King?

  4. So, why would Palestinians be pissed that 2 countries can live in peace?
    ** Boy doesn’t THAT explain a LOT?**

    1. Sayed Youssef thanks for emphasizing my point about yours and others ZERO tolerance policies towards working on Middle Eastern peace! I would imagine most reading would think I was exaggerating, but you provided yourself as a source!
      Thanks man!

    2. You really need to read about what s happened to Palestinians. Not from just an Israel point of view. From the perspective of people of the Gaza strip left to live in povert and denies any rights to their native land. Not to mention to anount of Palestinians that have been killed in Israeli raids. This isn’t about religion, it’s about power and it’s a gross misuse of one group to suppress another.

      I don’t mean to be a smart arse, I just thought I could try and answer your question.

      More info on some of the atrocities here:

    3. LCS JINX EUNE we have different perspectives. They want more than Gaza and it’s just a matter of opinion whether they deserve Jerusalem or not. It doesn’t make me an idiot to disagree on this issue. I’m British and I happen to think they made the wrong decision and caused a lot of harm. If’s admirable that the US are trying to help but I’m doubtful about the sale of fighter jets as part of the deal.

      There isn’t any need to make a political debate become personal.i can disagree with you without calling you names.

    1. Mark Lennon,
      Roosevelt was a Democrat President and was friendly with the Russian President, Stalin.
      Every president should work to have better relationships with other nations.
      Russia and China want A pushover like Biden to win. He would be easy to take advantage of.

    2. C Phibbs if you think Roosevelt wasn’t skeptical of Stalin, who killed millions of his own people, as a troll I’d like to sell you this bridge above me. 🤡

    3. @C Phibbs The enemy of my enemy is my friend. He only trusted him to help defeat Hitler, no farther. They weren’t friendly, they were associates with a common purpose for different reasons. tRump is a Russian pawn that bends over backwards not to upset him while giving him everything he asked for…almost complete control over the Middle East for one.

    4. Daniel Bramer
      Agreed.
      But why were all of the Russian meddling votes all for Hillary? The Russians wanted her to win.
      This time China and Russia want Biden to win. Trump has been a thorn in China and Russia’s side.

    1. Perhaps you need to read a bit more about how Palestinians were excluded from conversations. Again. It also included selling a heap of F35 fighter jets to the Middle East, UAE. They gonna sell all the USA’s best armory to the entire Middle East is a good plan? Think about 9/11. You really want to trust the Middle East? This deal was designed to make the President and the PM of Israel look like heroes but it has very serious risks.

      I respect that you want to be proud of Trump for this but it’s a big deal because it is as risky as it is great for America.

      Just trying to take a balanced view on the matter based on the facts of the deal and my distrust of the Middle East 🤷‍♀️

  5. Of course they’re angry. They hate peace. More and more countries are realising that it is easier to side with Israel, who wants peace.

    1. Israel has displaced 750,000 Palestine’s and the ratio of Palestinian to Israeli casualties is 9-1. It’s an ETHNIC CLEANSING and complete genocide. My grandfather is older than the state of Israel for gods sake.

    2. Palestine included killing jewish people in their foundational documents. This makes them an invalid state. Idk why anybody in the international community gives them the time of day whatsoever. This comment was removed by youtube despite it being objectively factual truth. You can look up the documents yourself.

    3. Google Mail what kind propaganda are you smoking? How about you provide a credible source that proves that’s cus it sounds like a whole lot of bullshit.

    4. You’re leaving out the part where the US and it’s allies kind of took their homes from them after WW2 🤔. You’d be pissed too if that happened to your country too. Its not like the Palestinians had a say in the matter.

    1. @Salem Abualrousso the story goes, Abraham is the patriarc of the jewish people, but their origin or of Abraham as always been that part of the world.
      for the egypt, well the israli fled to egypt after the invasion of the people of the sea, they are called that because obviously they came from the sea, among them the filistines, in egypt the pharoh used them as a buffer force, they were sometimes used as shock troops by the pharoh. know as to the story of Moses some historians defend he was real some don’t, was he a jew abandoned at the nile by his mother after a purge, no it would have been more trouble than worth, was he the adopted son of the pharoh possible but also unlikely, was he a military leader probable, did he led the israeli out of egypt, those that chose to go yes, did he brake or crossed the red sea hilllarious no, more probable is they followed a path trough the nile delta, did they spend 40 years in the sinai desert, probable it takes time to build na army, there were warriors but not meny of them, it takes more than a hand full to build asn army, before there return to what was known then as canaan and conquered it, before you ask no there are no modern canaanites, but their ancestry can be found in the modern israeli,
      as to who is wrong the bibble or the priest, well both, the priest follows the bible the bibble as any religious book isn’t a book on facts or history but of philosofy, you want facts go to a history book,

      And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

    1. @Asher Garber More global hate for the US for enabling the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocents. Like enough people aren’t dying at home!

    2. @Asher Garber penetrating analysis skipper. I try to learn something daily, but it appears that I’m going to need to look elsewhere.

    1. Just because they label it “peace deal” doesn’t make it so. I can label a concentration camp as being a “learning facility”, but that doesn’t make if any less of a concentration camp.

    2. It’s CNN so just because it’s a protest doesn’t mean CNN is right on _the reason._ They could be protesting the antichrist

    1. That’s why they did that to show Palestine true colors there will never be peace between Israel & Palestine not this grenation or probably never until they destroy Palestine ideology.

    2. I’ve never seen people more ignorant and unintelligent than trump supporters. I think that says a lot about him.

    1. It is not involving that… the peace deal was completely seperate… the peace deal was just a deal that there will be peace…. No one gets anything for it..

    1. @Quamdeen Eniola Hope is a very cool idea; but you have to seek God first and actually practice his teachings to every receive any help.

    1. @the left wing mob Exactly. This goes contrary to Trump’s fascist tactics; but Trump is just rearming the conflicts in the middle east. Trump has a separate deal for the UAE to get the F35 fighters , if they sign the “No Deal” deal with Israel. This “No Deal” is already falling apart because Israel will not keep the agreement not to annex Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Trump is a little desperate to have any of the other 19 Arab countries to even recognize Israel a nation. Trump has given away Syrian’s Golan, and Jordan’s Jerusalem to Israel when they were not US property to giveaway.
      There is still no peace in the middle east……Pompeo has already announced the intention to continue giving more advanced weapons to Israel, while the US continues arms sales to their Arab rivals.

    3. @Non Jenkins If that was in response to me: Leaning in faith, memorizing scripture, and living long enough to see God’s word unfold before my very eyes. God bless you all and keep praying. Things are going to get worse world wide, God is the only thing that will give you peace.

    4. @Bill Christian true, they making deals with everybody but Palestine which is the only country that got their land took nobody else. But the power players over there are Saudi Arabia and Iran, not these little Emirates who probably don’t even have a army to begin with. It’s like going make a deal with Singapore against China, it changes nothing of the politics in the region at all because you not dealing with the main players.
