Loading ...Massive transportation strike for increased pay in Germany
Ongoing flight cancellations in Frankfurt and Munich.
GMG reported that she met some (YVR) travellers to South Africa who had been rerouted and delayed three days as their Frankfurt flight was cancelled due to “civil unrest”. They ended up on her flight to London with major disruptions to their schedule.
None of this is reported in North American MSM outlets. Basically transportation in Germany is paralyzed. How long will this continue?
Add Germany to France and Israel, for different reasons, that are seeing massive unrest. Please add to this list.

Just like that, Israel is imploding. What began as explosive protests over a proposed change to how Israel’s supreme court justices are selected have magically detonated into a nationwide disaster literally shutting down the entire country.

There has been no official statement from the Israeli government 15 hours after the dismissal of the defense minister. Massive strikes throughout Israel, the airport is closed

Over the weekend, Israel’s biggest labor union and its Chamber of Commerce went on a national strike. Shopping malls are closed. The international Ben Gurion airport is closed. Hotel chains are shutting down. Schools and universities are closed. All national parks are closed. All government offices are closed. All museums are closed. Hospitals are only taking urgent cases. All banks are closed. Even McDonald’s is closed!
Commenters now predict that the unrest will take down the newly-formed Netanyahu government. The country’s political catastrophe couldn’t come at a worse time, while the Iranians are building up military resources in neighboring Syria.
What could have caused this? On Saturday, the Jerusalem Post ran a story headlined, “The US Is Funding Israel’s Anti-Netanyahu Protests, Yair Netanyahu Alleges.” Yair, the Prime Minister’s son, accused the U.S. State Department of fomenting the protests to pressure the Prime Minister to back off threats against the Iranians over that country’s nuclear program.
The State Department? It’s probably just a conspiracy theory. Don’t you think? Saying America is behind all this is just as crazy as accusing Joe Biden of blowing up the Nordstream pipeline.
On Thursday, Newsmax ran a related story headlined, “Military Officers Urge US to Arm Israel Against Iran.” An open letter signed by 44 retired American military officials noted that “Iran is coming ever closer to crossing the nuclear threshold,” and argued that “the United States should immediately provide Israel with the advanced weapons it needs to deter and prevent a nuclear Iran.”
Obviously, retired military officers wouldn’t be writing open letters if the US were already coming to Israel’s aid.
Meanwhile, the Biden Administration has said exactly nothing supportive of Israel. Just the opposite. On Thursday, General Milley hinted to Congress that the U.S. could be prepared to tolerate nuclear weapons in Iran. Specifically, Milley told the House defense appropriations committee that “the United States remains committed, as a matter of policy, that Iran will not have a fielded nuclear weapon.”
Nobody missed Milley’s use of the lawyer weasel-word “fielded” to modify “nuclear weapon,” which suggests a quiet but monumental shift in US policy toward Iranian nuclear ambitions. To Israeli ears, the phrase “fielded nuclear weapons,” which is synonymous with “used nuclear weapons” — as opposed to “any nuclear weapons” — was a clear warning signal of another Biden reverse-promise.
Opinions will vary on how valuable the relationship might be, but Israel undeniably remains America’s most important US ally in the Middle East. With Saudi Arabia cementing diplomatic ties with Iran and Syria last week, and now wandering toward the Russia-China coalition, a weakened Israel is bad news for the US.
End-times Christians will be paying especially close attention to how quickly Israel is collapsing, America is drifting away from her defense, and how Russia, China, and Iran are closing in. In other words, if things keep going this way, the consequences could be of Biblical proportions.
