Hezbollah missiles tipped with ammonium nitrate were supposed to rain on Haifa. Opiinion.

Because of the preoccupation with the Coronavirus, the blast in Beirut on Tuesday, August 4th got much less attention than it deserved. Sure, the world looked at the explosion in superficial 21st Century style but failed to understand the ramifications of the blast, which are far more important to Israel and the Jewish People than Coronavirus.
While Coronavirus is a pandemic, the Beirut blast wasn’t planned to be in Beirut. It was planned to be a Hiroshima holocaust to level the city of Haifa, all of the Haifa Bay area and kill a million Jews, Heaven forbid. Hashem prevented that just as King David said he would.
King David said in Psalm 7:16 that our enemy digs a pit but he himself falls into it. That’s exactly what Nasrallah and Hezbollah did.
Ler me emphasize that the Lebanese People are not our enemy. Nasrallahh and Hezbollahh are. They stored tons of highly volatile ammonium nitrate illegally in Beirut’s Port, despite Nasrallah’s denials. The corrupt Lebanese government, which Hezbollah controls by force, blackmail and bribes, knew all about it but didn’t do anything.
Other sectors of Lebanon’s population, such as the Christians, the Druze and many of the Sunni Moslems, suffer from Hezbollah tyranny and from their emasculated government’s lack of protection. The proof is that Hezbollah cared not at all about the safety threat to the Beirut populace.
However, what the liberal Western media doesn’t tell you is that the ammonium nitrate was destined to become the supercharger of Hezbollah’s missile warheads – tens of thousands of them – which turn conventional rockets into quasi nuclear threats as we saw in the mushroom vapor cloud that went up from the explosion in Beirut Port – it looked just like a mini Hiroshima.
Here’s a little history that the progressive media won’t tell you either. Hezbollah became world specialists in developing explosive devices and weapons enhancers through the use of ammonium nitrate. Ammonium nitrate was the explosive material used in the roadside bombs that wounded and killed so many Israeli soldiers between the First and Second Lebanon Wars.
Hezbollah exported this sinister know-how to their Afghani counterparts, the Taliban, by way of Iran. According to intel sources, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRG) have been active amongst Taliban terrorists opposing the Afghan government. In fact, the same Iranian IRG military advisors that work with Hezbollah have also worked as advisors to the Taliban.
Now hear this, America – the same roadside ammonium-nitrate based bombs that wounded and killed so many Israeli soldiers are the culprits that maimed and killed so many American soldiers in Afghanistan.\
When you put the puzzle together, it all connects to Iran.
This massive 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate, which is 6 million pounds, had been sitting in Hangar 12 of the Port of Beirut, stockpiled by Hezbollah as the secret weapon to implement another Holocaust that Nasrallah and Khomeini had planned for the Jewish People.
In 2016, with a nasty smirk on his face, Nasrallah promised that a “nuclear explosion” just might detonate in Israel in the near future. Ever since, he and the IRG have been promising that Israel’s demise is near. While the blast on Tuesday was “accidental”, the damage would have been megatimes greater if but a few kilograms of ammonium nitrate were placed at the tips of 150,000 Hezbollah warheads fired with deadly precision all over Israel, Such a supercharger on a warhead makes it tens of times more devastating, depending on the rocket and its payload capacity.
Israel knew all about the stockpile. The Mossad even tipped off Britain’s MI5 recently about 3 tons of the deadly material the Hezbollah stockpiled in the UK, where they were planning a hit similar to their devastating terror attack in Burgas, Bulgaria in July of 2012, when a Hezbollah suicide bomber blew up a bus carrying 42 Israeli tourists. The same was being planned for Golder’s Green or Stamford Hill.
Israel cares more about Beirut’s citizens than Hezbollah and Iran do – much more.
Contrary to the attempts to pin the blame on Israel, it is easy to prove that Israel had nothing to do with the blast. Hezbollah stockpiled the ammonium nitrate in warehouses that held shipments of Iranian missiles that Hezbollah was also stockpiling.
But Israel goes deep inside Syria and Shiite-controlled portions of Iraq to prevent weapons transfers to Hezbollah in Lebanon by ground routes. Israel’s Navy also monitors Beirut Port to prevent weapons shipments by sea. In fact, as soon as Israel discovers missile shipments and stockpiles intended for Hezbollah – no matter where they are, in Syria, in Lebanon or in Iraq – Israel attacks and blows them up. There is, however, one exception – the Port of Beirut.
Israel could have easily blown up the weapons stockpiles in the Port of Beirut, but refrained from doing so, despite the terrible threat to its citizens, because Israel knew that the stockpiles stored next to them would also blow up, causing devastation to a civilian population.
Israel cared about preventing damage to the people of Beirut whereas Nasrallah, Hezbollah, Iran and Khomeini could not have cared less. The arch-terrorist criminal Nasrallah connived that if he stockpiled his weapons where the ammonium nitrate was, they’d be safe from Israel. He was right; he knows that Israel risks its own soldiers to avoid damage to civilian populations of enemy countries. The reason Israel doesn’t destroy all of Hezbollah’s weapons depots in Beirut Port and in South Lebanon is because they’re all in the midst of the civilian population, not just in warehouses but in mosques and hospitals.
But Nasrallah was wrong about something else – he didn’t take God’s Hand guiding historical events into account. No matter what the human or natural cause of the ignition is found to be, the timing and placement of the event that destroyed Hezbollah’s doomsday weapon of ammonium nitrate and ignited the fire in Beirut Port is the result of the Hand of God. It is no less than a miracle. Even more telling, while less than 160 people were killed in the blast, which is sad enough, actually the number of fatalities should have been a hundred times greater.
This article is not conventional news, but faith-based news. The purpose is not to present the news, to discuss politics or to analyze military strategy and scenarios. The purpose is to show that when and where the blast occurred means that Hashem is acting for us without our knowledge.
In Psalm 117, King David calls upon all nations, including our enemies, to praise Hashem, because His mercy on the Jewish People is so great. This really sounds weird at face value: why should Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran praise Hashem for His mercy on the Jews, when their hate for us knows no bounds? The answer is simple – only they know what they have been planning for us and only they know the extent to which Hashem has spoiled their plans.
The least we can do – every Jew or peace-loving human whoever you are and wherever you are – is to thank Hashem, from morning until night. We can never take for granted every new day when the sun shines on is. Thank You, Hashem. G-d bless and warmest regards from the Land of Israel.

@ Michael S:
Although to Reader you are genuinely impertinent and insulting..to me you are merely an Oregon black fly…the kind that hangs around swamps and 100 ft deep hidey-holes-outhouses.
Why not keep your foolish remarks to yourself…or are you having a schitzophrenic episode…..?? I was just looking up the early signs…….
1) hearing or seeing something which isn’t there..
2) peculiar or nonsensical way pf speaking or writing.
There is more but these are enough to convince me….Reader is absolutely correct with his diagnosis. No medical expertise even needed..open and shut slam dunk.
Mike……stop bothering me……!! Your linguistic erudition is puerile to a fault. I hope I’m keeping it simple enough for you.. In language that you should understand…GO AWAY. ! You need a spray of Raid..!
@ Edgar G.:
Edgar, Reader is genuinely confused. You’re besotted with your own stupidity.
@ Reader:
Bravo Reader, exactly my sentiments. As for de servint uv de lawd, he did a “Bonaparte retreat” (from Moscow) style manoeuvre….
@ Reader:
Reader, you sound like a Mormon to me, thoroughly mixing the scriptures with fantasy. That’s OK. I think most Mormons are nice people.
Rabbi Lazer Brody is the one who wrote the OP
God bless and keep you and yours.
@ Michael S:
I couldn’t read most of your lengthy opus.
I have no idea who that “Rabbi” Brody is, nor do I care to find out.
I never said that the (Jewish) prophecies are no longer valid, in fact, I said that they came true with the return of the Jews to the Promised Land while the Christian prophecies failed.
The age of prophecy ended according to the Torah which means that from that point on there were no more new prophets but the previously made prophecies remained valid.
Christianity and Judaism have vastly different ideas as to the nature of God, prophecy, religion, belief, etc., etc., so these types of arguments are mutually unintelligible.
Christianity is based on a false and mythical anti-Jewish narrative and on purposeful mistranslation of the Pentateuch.
Even Talmud was edited by a Christian censor before printing.
The Torah can only be interpreted in the original Hebrew with special rules of interpretation by those who already know a great deal, and not by anyone who feels like it reading it in any language.
Obviously, it is impossible for a couple of billion people to admit that for 2,000 years they’ve been fed vicious fairy tales and divide-and-conquer enslaving ideas under the guise of goodness, light, humility, and hating evil in the shape of Christ-killing Jews.
I don’t call people schizophrenics but hearing voices is a very common and well known symptom of the disorder.
@ Reader:
Hi, Reader. Let’s see what you’re saying here,,, You said,
“I am referring back to the saying that I quoted: “When you talk to God, it’s called prayer, when God talks to you, it’s called schizophrenia.””
OK, so what about it?…
“The saying refers to the literal meaning of the word “talking”, not to the metaphoric one like you did to change the argument.”
Let’s address that lie right off the bat:
1. You said you had a “saying”. Wowie zowie! What’s your source? Anonymous? Ben Franklin? Shakespeare? I would be impressed, if you had said “The Bible”. If it were, maybe we could talk about it. Otherwise, why bother? You were criticizing Rabbi Brody’s quoting the Bible, by calling me a schizophrenic. When you finally work out all your convoluted logic, I can only come up with what you’re really trying to say… but I digress. Let’s go on…
2. You say I’m being “metaphorical”, when I say that believing what the Bible says is “hearing from God.” Let me disencumber you from such thinking: I am NOT being metaphorical. I am saying it as it is. I said that Rabbi Brody said that the Bible said that God said something. No metaphor. I said,
“ABSOLUTELY TRUE”
— not metaphorical, but true: absolutely true. Could I have possibly been plainer than that? I know what I said. I know what I meant, and there is no reason you should be confused. If you can’t understand me, talk to Rabbi Brody. If you can’t understand Rabbi Brody? Read the Bible that he quoted. If you can’t understand the Bible, talk to God… Oh, but of course, you can’t hear God, because you don’t want to hear yourself calling you schizophrenic. We all have problems, but that one is your particular problem. Now, what else did you say?
“The age of prophecy ended a long time ago.”
That is your belief; and you have much company in thinking that way. I have some dear friends, who are dispensationalists: They believe God’s word should be chopped up: This piece for this time, that piece for that time… They are my friends, in that we accept each other because of having known one another for a long time; but on this matter we disagree. They think that the time of prophecy is passed. They believe the time of God’s grace to the Jews is passed. There are other things they believe, which I can’t remember. Some of them believe that Jesus is the son of God, but that Jesus IS God, but that somehow this does not say that Jesus is his own father. Figure that one out. I was kicked out of two churches, for believing that was nonesense.
So, you believe what you do; and as with those people, you probably cannot be convinced otherwise. But I have my own belief, which is this: “The word of God has no expiration date.” If you think otherwise, then be so kind as to tell me exactly WHEN prophesies stopped being valid. The one Rabbi Brody quoted is from around 1000 BC. Did they stop being valid before then?
“So far, the Jews merited to come back… to prove Christianity wrong???”
That’s a real whopper. You’re welcome to think that; I prefer to believe Rabbi Brody; but if you want to go around calling people schizophrenics, go get a medical degree first, then set up a practice.
@ Michael S:
No, that’s not what I mean.
I am referring back to the saying that I quoted: “When you talk to God, it’s called prayer, when God talks to you, it’s called schizophrenia.”
The saying refers to the literal meaning of the word “talking”, not to the metaphoric one like you did to change the argument.
The age of prophecy ended a long time ago.
Anyway, who entitled you to judge others?
So far, the Jews merited to come back to the Promised Land and to prove both Christianity and Islam WRONG, so who are those who are NOT LISTENING TO GOD (the way YOU mean it)?
@ gardenofmystery:
OK. I was taken aback somewhat because by D-Day the six million were pretty much finished in Europe.
@ Reader:
The schizophrenic kind? You mean, the kind where God speaks to you through Torah, in plain language, in black and white, and you refuse to listen? Then what good are your “prayers” to a God you don’t even believe in?
@ Michael S:
If you insist.
I prefer the prayer type of communication to the schizophrenic kind.
@ Reader:
Reader, God has been talking to everyone, especially the Jews, since the time of Moses and before that. The fact that you (personally) have not listened, is called “being stiff-neciked”
@ Reader:
I did not imply that Jews survived directly because of D-Day, but the D-Day landing was a major military blow to the nazis. The allies after that pushed further and further into first France and the Low Countries and then into Germany itself. In fact, the Germans started sabotaging their own precious Autobahn, the pride of nazi building projects, because the allies were using to more quickly advance in Germany.
@ Michael S:
O, Michael, The AllKnowing! There is a saying: “When you talk to God, it’s called prayer, when God talks to you, it’s called schizophrenia.”
I hope your “superior” knowledge of God’s intentions doesn’t come from God talking to you.
@ gardenofmystery:
“King David said in Psalm 7:16 that our enemy digs a pit but he himself falls into it. That’s exactly what Nasrallah and Hezbollah did.”
ABSOLUTELY TRUE, Garden!
Can you imagine Arthur Wellsley and Reader in heaven? For eternity, you would be hearing,
“How come I had such a crummy life! There’s no God!”
Unless they change, NOW, they won’t be in heaven — God is sparing the rest of us.
@ gardenofmystery:
Jews survived because of D-Day? You must be kidding!
I agree with the rest of your post.
@ Arthur Wellesley:
The Divine Hand intervened in D-Day and the Jews did collectively survive. When Stalin attempted to exterminate the Jews, he suddenly died. Today, the Germans know what it is like to have been Jewish in Germany for the past 2,000 years. Even worse the anally-retentive neat freak Germans are being raped and bullied by the Muslims whose methods of oppression are animalistic and quite filthy. Not only the Germans but the Europeans in general are receiving their long due karma. Their birthrates have fallen. Now it is us Jews who have somewhere to go to, while the Europeans with all their countries have nowhere. The British who gave large chunks of our land, including East Jerusalem, to the Arabs, now have large chunks of their land, including East London, controlled by Muslims.
The Divine Hand so smugly referenced by Rabbi Brody was pretty inactive during the rise and reign of a certain oddly mustached 20th century Austrian politician.
