The David Hunter Perspective - 2023-10-11

Read on for today's agenda below prepared by David (thank you very much). - Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.

1)Hamas Attacks Israel: In an attack last Saturday that allegedly caught Israeli intelligence off guard, Palestinian Hamas fighters launched from the tiny Gaza Strip at SW corner of Israel a massive attack inside Israel, including firing hundreds of missiles and sending fighters to border cities inside Israel itself. Over 100 Israeli hostages were captured and brought back to Gaza. Israel reports over 6000 citizens have been killed and thousands wounded. What motivated Hamas to launch this attack, and what will happen next?

2)Israeli Jews Spitting at Christians and Invading Al Aqsa Mosque?: In Israel's Temple Mount Complex, extremely conservative Jews were photographed spitting at a Christian procession carrying a Cross. Also on Wednesday of last week, Israeli extremists invaded the Al Aqsa Mosque and prayed prostrate on this Muslim holy ground. Is this a result of increasing toleration of Jewish supremacy doctrine inside Israel?

3)Azerbaijan Conquers Armenian Enclave:The Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabahk has just been captured by Azerbaijani troops. This despite Russian troops being stationed there to help preserve the status quo. Did Russia fail to help  it's old ally Armenia defend it's claimed territory? Will there be long term consequences?

4)German Victory Over the Roman Legions in 9 AD: In 9 AD, the Romans from Italy attempted to conquer the German tribes and make them slaves. A German who was drafted into the Roman Army, Armenius (aka Hermann the Warrior Chief), organized a plot to trap three Roman Legions and destroy them. This led Rome to give up on conquest of Germanic peoples. Did this event shape world history?
