The people of Gaza has something in common with Jesus. The Jews wanted to kill Jesus too. Matthew 17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry. John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. John 7:1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

The phrase "with a click of a button you can bring down nations to their knees" refers to the catastrophic potential of modern cyber warfare, a threat that is immediate and real. While the dramatic wording may be rhetorical, it accurately reflects the increasing reliance on complex computer systems for critical national functions, which creates vulnerability to digital attacks.

Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure

Malicious actors, including nation-states, can target computer systems that manage essential services. Successful attacks could lead to widespread disruption and destabilization. Examples of critical infrastructure sectors include:

Energy: Disrupting power grids to cause blackouts and cripple industry.
Financial services: Stealing assets or causing system failures in banks and financial markets.

Communication: Taking down internet and cellular networks.
Transportation: Disrupting traffic control, railways, and aviation.
Healthcare: Impairing hospital and medical services.

Water and wastewater: Contaminating or disrupting a population's water supply.

Sophisticated and evolving cyber threats

The capabilities of cyber attackers continue to evolve, with new techniques and tools that make these threats more potent.
Hybrid attacks: Adversaries combine cyber and physical attacks to multiply their impact.

Weaponized artificial intelligence (AI): AI is increasingly used to autonomously accelerate cyber attacks by conducting reconnaissance, adapting to defenses, and exploiting vulnerabilities.

State-sponsored attacks: Nation-states are developing increasingly sophisticated cyberweapons and using them to target critical infrastructure for espionage and disruption.

Global and collective response
Because the digital landscape is so interconnected, threats are often global. In response, nations and international bodies are attempting to address these issues through collaborative efforts.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in the United States works to protect the nation's infrastructure and promote resilience.

The United Nations has introduced a new convention on cybercrime, though it has faced criticism for potentially expanding surveillance powers.

Organizations like INTERPOL and the Council of Europe have also created frameworks to combat cybercrime and facilitate international cooperation.

The biblical accounts cited—Matthew 17:23 and John 5:18 and 7:1—do not provide details about Jesus' killing, but instead focus on the motivations of certain Jewish leaders who opposed him. Jesus' reference to his own death in Matthew is a prophecy, while the passages in John describe the Jewish leaders' plotting. These events preceded Jesus' final confrontation with the authorities.

Matthew 17:23: The prediction of death and resurrection

Context: Before this passage, Jesus had been on a high mountain where he was transfigured before Peter, James, and John. When he came down, he healed a boy possessed by a demon.

Meaning: Jesus gathers his disciples in Galilee and tells them that "The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised to life". This is not an account of the killing itself, but a prophecy delivered to his followers. The disciples were "deeply grieved" and distressed by the prediction, as they did not fully understand the significance of the resurrection at that point.
Who was involved: Jesus indicates that "men" will kill him, but provides no specific identity for them in this verse. His words foreshadow the role of both Jewish and Roman authorities in his death.

John 5:18: Escalating persecution in Judea

Context: This verse comes after Jesus healed a lame man by the pool of Bethesda on the Sabbath. He then defended his action to the Jewish leaders, stating, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working" (John 5:17).

Meaning: John 5:18 explains why "the Jews" (referring to the religious leaders in Judea) began to seek Jesus' death even more diligently. They were incensed not only because they believed he was "breaking the Sabbath" by healing on that day, but also because by calling God his "own Father," he was "making himself equal with God".

Reason for opposition: In the eyes of these Jewish leaders, Jesus was committing blasphemy. His claim to a unique divine sonship was understood as an affront to their strict monotheistic beliefs and therefore worthy of death.

John 7:1: The threat in Judea

Context: John 7 takes place about six months after the events of chapter 5, as the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles is approaching. During this time, Jesus' family urged him to go to Judea and show his works there.

Meaning: This verse explains why Jesus was reluctant to go to Judea: "After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him". This was a direct result of the hostility that began in John 5.

Who was involved: John specifies that the threat originated from the "Jewish leaders" in Judea, particularly Jerusalem, a distinction made from the general population. Jesus was not necessarily afraid of death, but was waiting for the right time, as dictated by his divine mission.
