'Global Day of Rage' This Friday?

Propaganda or Dangerous Event in two days?

Oct 12, 2023

This Friday happens to be the 13th. Although I’m not superstitious, I feel like there is a possibility this coming Friday the 13th could potentially be a bad day for some people.

Why, you may ask, would I be nervous about a spooky old superstition?

You know about Hamas, how the U.S. government has declared the group a terrorist organization, and its leadership role in the Gaza Strip. This was not just a terrorist attack but a military assault. Israel declared war on Hamas in response to the Hamas attack and is now bombing the Gaza Strip where the attackers emerged.

The Hamas leader who is calling for this Friday to be a ‘day of rage’ is named Khaled Meshaal (sometimes spelled Mashal.) He is a founding member of Hamas and currently the head of the group’s diaspora office.

Here’s some biographical info on Meshaal:

We all need to be aware of what Meshaal is calling all Muslims around the world to do this Friday: Global Jihad.

On X/Twitter, the account with the handle BrotherRasheed has a pinned tweet where the TV host in Morroco plays the speech of Meshaal calling for global jihad, and he provides his commentary intermittently.

In this tweet, Rachid summarizes the five main points of Meshaal’s speech today (pay attention to Meshaal’s final words):
