I am Israel.I was born millennia before I was renamed Palestine by the conquering Romans
and before the U.N. decided to turn my eastern lands into Jordan.
My people, the Jews, maintained communities here for three thousand years
--that is until the Arabs decided to massacre those Jews in 1920 and 1929.
Hundreds of civilians were murdered, most of them women and children.
Meanwhile, their brother Arab states exiled one million Arabic Jews
ERASING THEIR HISTORY.
I am Israel.
I am Israel -- I've been attacked four times by five Arab armies in sixty years.
I am a survivor: I won every war they waged against me.
I told the Arabs who lived on my land that they were welcome to stay
but their brothers said, "leave temporarily while the Jews are taken care of."
I have been offering a message of peace since the day I was born
but my enemies answered only in bombs, bullets, and blood -- our own, and theirs.
Realizing they could not defeat me with arms, my enemies turned to lies.
I am Israel.
I am Israel -- time and time again my name is smeared.
Though like the Mohammad Al-Dura hoax, each lie is eventually disproved.
My enemies continue to claim that I am committing "genocide".
Tell me, is giving educational opportunities to Palestinian Arabs "genocide"?
Twenty percent of the students in Haifa University are Arabs.
If I exiled all the Arabs in 1948, why are twenty percent of my citizens Arabs who vote?
Why did I give up the entire Sinai and the Gaza strip
uprooting my own people from their homes, only for the HOPE of peace?
In combat ops, I risk the lives of my teenagers to minimize civilian casualties.
I make every attempt to target only fighters, often putting my soldiers in harm.
In war, I drop leaflets on areas to be attacked warning civilians to evacuate.
Has any other army in the history of mankind done this for its enemy?
I waited eight years to stop Hamas from its daily rocket attacks.
Some fell on my kindergartens. I am patient, but my patience is not infinite.
I am Israel
I am Israel -- I discover new medications to treat devastating diseases,
I've created technology such as Intel, anti-virus, and cell phones,
and I lead the world in scientific publications per capita.
I send humanitarian missions to developing countries, including Muslim countries.
I have absorbed hundreds of Muslim refugees who faced genocide in Darfur --
refugees no Muslim state would take.
I am Israel
I am Israel -- one of the smallest counties in the world,
and probably the most stubborn -- I refuse to give up hope for peace.
My friends support me not because of any lobby, but because they see the truth:
I am the heart of the Middle East, and the hope for its future.
My prophet said, "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation" and I will try ...and try,
and TRY until those words are true.
Because I am Israel.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These words above are part of a video as shown on the Jewish television station, "Shalom TV".
I would say it's a little different that the official Al-Fatah and the official Hamas television videos promoting Palestinian children to become "martyrs for Allah" wouldn't you say?

"Aren’t the Jews in Israel European colonialists?
FACT:
Jews who immigrated from Europe to join Jews already living in their ancient homeland were the opposite of colonialists. They were not agents of a foreign power and rejected any identification with European nations. They were idealists from countries around the world who sought national self-determination in their ancestral home and labored to restore the unique language and culture that had once prevailed in the land. Over 150 years ago, Jews from around the world immigrated in ever-larger numbers. They again became the majority in Jerusalem in the 1870s and established Tel Aviv in 1909. In 1920 the international community officially affirmed
the Jewish people’s historical rights to the land and endorsed the Zionist dream of restoring their national homeland."

"Why Is Everybody Lying About Israel?"
by Daniel Gould
Published Dec 6, 2023
Barry Shaw typed online today
"Those who judgmentally, and ignorantly, accuse Israel of being a racist state should ponder on the recent death of Israeli Arab, Salim Joubran.
Joubran became the second Israeli Arab to serve on the Israeli Supreme Court. The first being Abdel Rahman-Zuabi in 1999.
Joubran was instrumental in rejecting the appeal of former prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, which resulted in Olmert's two year prison sentence.
He also on the panel of three judges who rejected the appeal of former president of Israel, Moshe Katzav, sending him to prison for seven years on rape and sexual abuse charges.
Joubran was a leading liberal voice for Jews and for Arabs.
Joubran contributed a lot to the integration of Arabs into Israeli society, and Israel is a better place for the contribution of Salim Joubran.
Perhaps Arab and Muslim nations would benefit if they had a Jewish judge on their Supreme Court, even Jewish communities in their mono-religeous, mono- cultural societies?

About the Greatness of Israel

"How and why Izzy Ezagui, an American oleh from Miami whose left arm was blown off by a mortar shell on the Gaza border, fought his way back to the front-lines sums up the indomitable spirit of the Jewish nation.
Against the advice of his doctors, Ezagui not only re-enlisted after losing his arm, but returned to combat duty.
He had just finished his initial military training in the Israel Defense Forces when Operation Cast Lead broke out in December 2008. A few weeks later, while guarding the border between Israel and Gaza, Ezagui absorbed a direct mortar hit, which ripped his left — and dominant — arm from his body. He was rushed to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, where he underwent emergency surgery to stop the bleeding and close his gaping wound.
For most young men, that would have been the end of their combat careers, if not their military service altogether. But for Ezagui, it was just the beginning.
In fact, his life-altering injury turned him into more of a fighter than he had ever been. Defying doctors’ orders and slashing through military red tape, Ezagui has become, as far as he is aware, the only IDF soldier with this specific disability to return to full combat duty.
The brave Jewish hero, and pride of the Jewish nation, is humble. He calls himself just “an average Joe.” But once he begins to tell his story, it becomes clear that his fortitude and determination are far from ordinary.
In August 2007, Ezagui moved to Israel with his family from Miami, where he had grown up in the Chabad community after his parents became religious, about the time Ezagui turned 8. While his mother, father and three younger sisters did not become Israeli citizens right away (they are now), Ezagui made aliya upon arrival, and immediately enlisted in the army."
& lastly says
"Crucially, however, Ezagui had Maj. Gen. Yoav Galant on his side. The pair met when Galant, then the head of Israel’s Southern Command, came to visit Ezagui and other wounded soldiers in rehab. “The first thing I told him was that I wanted to go back to the army and to combat,” Ezagui recalled. “It was the same thing I told all the generals and politicians who came to visit, but he was the only one who said OK.”
The young infantry corporal stayed in touch with the general during the following six-month period, during which he continued his rehabilitation on his own in New York. When Ezagui felt he was getting into satisfactory shape, he informed Galant, who started paving the way for his return to the IDF.
Matt Melendez, a US Army sniper, can attest to how hard Ezagui worked to prepare for that return. A personal trainer at the time, Melendez met Ezagui when he joined a sports club in Manhattan. The two worked out together for several months, and became friends. “I was shocked that Izzy was telling me he was going to re-enlist,” Melendez said. “An injury like his in the US Army would be a career-ender.”
Melendez, 22, recalled his new friend’s high motivation and positive outlook while on a recent tour in Afghanistan. “He never doubted and always gave 110 percent,” Melendez said. “He’s given me a different outlook on life, and is an inspiration to me.”
By mid-2010, a year and a half after his arm was blown off, Ezagui was back in the IDF — this time in the Givati Brigade. After retraining, he went on to serve in Hebron, and later progressed to command school.
‘It was obviously tough because I wasn’t only switching over to using my non-dominant hand, but also because I had only one hand to use’
But first, he had to pass all the tests required of combat soldiers, including shooting, reloading guns, unjamming rifles, throwing grenades, charging hills, climbing ropes and even doing pushups. By himself, Ezagui figured out how to do all of these things.
“It was obviously tough because I wasn’t only switching over to using my non-dominant hand, but also because I had only one hand to use,” he said.
Ari Orzach, a 21-year-old soldier who served under Ezagui, recalls questions that circulated before Ezagui arrived on base.
“How can he tie his boots? How can he shoot a gun?” the soldiers wondered. “But once we met him,” Orzach said, “our first impression was that he was self-confident and really knew what he was doing. He clearly had to rethink how to do everything, and that wasn’t easy. But he always had a smile on his face, and lots of energy.”
Ezagui inspired both his American friend and his soldiers, and now that he has been discharged (with the rank of first sergeant) and returned to civilian life, he’s focused on doing the same for others. He gives motivational speeches for the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces and other organizations. In addition, he spends time with young people on Birthright Israel trips, just as soldiers did with him on his fateful trip. He is also writing a memoir, with the aim of demonstrating the potential for anyone to overcome challenges.
Ezagui is no longer religiously observant, but says that this is not a direct result of losing his arm. He says he feels lucky to be alive, and is proud to have succeeded in his quest. “Why me?” he said, is not a question he asks.
Izzy Ezagui: hero to the Jewish nation."

"Some inconvenient truths that’ll surely anger the anti Israel crowd.
No country in history ever supplied so much food and medical aid to the enemy and its populus as Israel has during this current war. (Note that these numbers have only increased since March)
Israel is already facilitating the entry of more than 1,000 trucks of aid to Gaza per week and stands ready to do more.
Since Hamas initiated the war on October 7, 280,080 tons of aid have entered on 15,207 trucks.
Since the start of the war, Israel has denied entry to only 1.6% of trucks seeking to enter Gaza. The main obstacle to humanitarian aid reaching civilians is the distribution mechanism inside of Gaza. Truck drivers are also delaying distribution by arriving late to Rafah and leaving early.
During the war, more food trucks have entered Gaza than prior to the war — on average an increase of more than 50% per day.
184,5000 tons of food have entered Gaza since the start of the war.
Four tankers carrying cooking oil enter Gaza every day — a sufficient quantity to meet the needs of the territory. 310 cooking gas tanks have entered Gaza since the start of the war.
The World Food Program is currently supplying 15 massive Gazan bakeries — with the capacity to produce more than 2 million pita breads, rolls, and other breads per day.
Israel has facilitated the delivery of more than 18,400 tons of medical supplies to Gaza since Hamas attacked Israel.
On March 2, Israel also delivered 50 incubators for hospitals across Gaza.
Israel has facilitated the entrance of 74 ambulances to Gaza and more than a million vaccine doses.
Israel has worked with Jordan and the UAE to establish two field hospitals in Khan Yunis and Rafah. Additional field hospitals are operated by the Red Crescent and the International Medical Corps.
Over 600,000 Syrians have been killed since 2013. Where are the protests in streets and universities worldwide and condemnation at the U.N.?
That is why this attack on Israel worldwide is pure Antisemitism. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who on Oct. 22, 1967, forcefully rebuked the expression of anti-Zionist remarks: “Don’t talk like that! When people criticize ‘Zionists,’ they mean Jews. You’re talking antisemitism.”

"Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett on the SHIFA HOSPITAL OPERATION:
“Amazing battlefield achievement.
The IDF has just completed a 2 week operation on a Hamas command center that Hamas embedded within the Shifa Medical Center.
Hamas used staff and patients as human shields in order to cause maximum civilian casualties as to create more criticism and pressure on Israel.
The results are remarkable:
- 6,000 civilians were evacuated by the IDF to keep them safe.
- 200 Hamas terrorists were killed.
- 500 Hamas terrorists have been captured.
- *No civilian was killed*. Not one.
This is unprecedented in urban warfare.
Our military is learning and improving by the day.
These results undermine the false claim that the IDF is targeting civilians.
If we didn’t care about innocent lives, we’d have simply bombed the whole complex, without risking lives of our own fighters.
Israel will continue until we remove Hamas and bring the hostages home.
I’m proud to be Israeli and proud of the IDF, a beacon of light.”

"It’s been a challenging week for the people of Israel. While the world watches Gaza, Israelis have been under attack, even if it’s eluded headlines in the western media.
In the last few days, three Israelis were stabbed in Gan Yavne in central Israel, one so critically injured he required life-sustaining treatment en route to the hospital.
There was also a stabbing attack in Be’er Sheva that injured a man in his 20s and a car-ramming attack northeast of Tel Aviv that injured four people, including one in serious condition. And last week, rockets fired by Hezbollah killed a man in Kiryat Shemona.
These events speak to the continual dangers Israeli civilians face. They speak to the lifesaving work Magen David Adom paramedics perform every day."

"Gut-wrenching images showed an anguished 12-year-old Jewish boy saying goodbye to his father, mother, and sisters who were all slaughtered by Arab Hamas terrorists while he went out on an early-morning run.
Ariel Zohar, dressed in all black and flanked by members of his extended family, sobbed while looking in horrified disbelief at the shroud-wrapped bodies of his dad, Yaniv Zohar, 54, an AP photographer, his mother, Yasmin, 49, and his two sisters, Tehelet, 20, and Keshet, 18, at their joint funeral service in the city of Rishon LeTsiyon Tuesday.
His grandfather, a Holocaust survivor, held the boys hand at the funeral.
Four members of the Zohar family were killed along with Ariel’s maternal grandfather, Haim Livne, at their home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, located near the Gaza border, on the morning of October 7.
The boy survived the attack only because he was out jogging at the time. He later sheltered at a nearby house and escaped unharmed.
An estimated 1,000 mourners attended the emotional funeral service for the Zohar family, which was interrupted four times by air-raid sirens and incoming rocket fire from Gaza.
“They won’t even let us bury our dead,” said Yaniv Zohar’s sister Sivan.
She said that her orphaned nephew would be raised by her sister and that the surviving family members intended to celebrate his bar mitzvah in a month as planned.
“We will continue to celebrate life, and we won’t let anyone destroy us,” Sivan said. “This is how we will avenge their deaths.”

"October 7th impacted everyone and everything. Even inanimate objects.
This armored vehicle (depicted below) is being rehabilitated following the horror of the Hamas Massacre.
On October 6th Israel’s Secret Service had a feeling something was wrong. Unfortunately, they didn’t comprehend HOW wrong.
Their response was to send south the “Tequila Team”, elite warriors trained to stop terror attacks in real-time. They are not equipped to ward off a full-scale invasion.
The brave warriors in this vehicle died battling terrorists.
One of the terrorists tried to capture this vehicle and take it back to Gaza. Before succumbing to his wounds, one of the warriors managed to shoot and kill the terrorist.
The fact that it took a week to recover the vehicle, even though it was not taken to Gaza, is a shocking testament to the severity of what was happening in the country. There were other, bigger problems to handle before it was possible to even think about recovering this vehicle, an important piece of equipment in our war to survive.
The dead terrorist remained in the vehicle, sitting in the sun, for a week.
I don’t want to imagine what it was like for the people who needed to deal with that.
Israel needs this vehicle. To bring it back to a state where it can be used to protect our warriors, it is necessary to strip and refit it.
October 7th impacted everyone and everything. Even inanimate objects."

"Was the Creation of Israel in 1948 Unfair to Arabs?
Let’s start with 1948. Was there no attempt to create two states then?
There was. The United Nations partitioned Palestine in 1947, offering part to Jews and part to Arabs, with the intention that each part would become either a state or part of a state. The Arab state of Jordan already existed. Already home to many Palestinians, it was in a position to annex the West Bank portion of the land partitioned for Arabs.
Critics allege that the UN partition was unfair to Arabs, because non-Jews made up 93 percent of Palestine and 78 percent of the land was left in Jewish hands.
But here is what is commonly forgotten: the part of Palestine allotted to Jews was home to a substantial Jewish majority—538,000 Jews to 397,000 Arabs, according to official UN estimates. Besides, the “Jewish national home,” mandated by the League of Nations in 1920, originally included what is now the state of Jordan. Eighty percent of this was given to Arabs, in what was then called Trans-Jordan. The remaining 20 percent was divided in the 1947 partition, which means Jews received only 17.5 percent of what was originally designated to be theirs.
Jews were unhappy, because the land they were given did not include West Jerusalem, which had a Jewish majority, and because 60 percent of their portion was the Negev, an arid desert then thought to be useless. But they accepted the partition. The Arabs did not."
& Also
"Arab refugee problem was created by the seven Arab countries that attacked Israel in 1948. Arab refugees were intentionally not integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the fact total territory of Arab countries is about 700 times greater than that of Israel. Out of about 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has not been absorbed into their own peoples' lands. Arab nations still maintain generations of the descendants of the refugees in so called "refugee camps" under squalid conditions with the hope that someday they will dislodge the Jews in Israel. The money spent by the Arab countries on armaments would be sufficient to build houses for all so called "refugees". Arab countries should be encouraged to care for their poor population instead of spending their richest resources in the world on armaments and development of terrorist groups such as Osama Bin Laden from Saudi Arabia."

"Trigger warning!!
This is a very unpopular opinion that will surely anger a lot of people.
One of the things that has bothered me most about this war is the fact that it’s taking us this long to wipe out Hamas.
After all the wars we won against multiple armies, some of which took just days, how is it that we’re this many months in to a war against a terrorist organization and not even an army?
Is the IDF losing its edge? Did it already? Is the old strong courageous IDF a thing of the past?
I don’t know about you, but this issue has been weighing on me for months.
Well, let’s talk about it.
If you’re too lazy to keep reading, I’ll give you the punchline. No. The IDF isn’t weaker. The IDF is infinitely stronger now than ever before.
So then, how do I explain the fact that we’ve been at this war for six months and there is no end in sight?
The answer is simple. The IDF hasn’t changed, the nature of war has changed.
Mark my words. Not only will Israel win this war, but Israel is establishing itself as we speak as the global authority on urban warfare. All countries will be turning to Israel in the future to learn how to fight a war in the 21st century. "
The comment continues
"So why is it taking so long?
Well, for a lot of reasons.
Let’s start with the enemy.
Wars have rules. Rules of engagement. Certain things can’t be done in war. There are war crimes. When two sides of a war are playing by the same rules, there can be a clear winner and a clear loser. Victory is clearly defined.
But not in this war.
Our enemy in this war has no restrictions or guidelines. There is nothing they can’t, won’t, and haven’t done.
I don’t need to tell you this. You’ve read about it.
- Using innocent women and children as shields as they attack IDF soldiers? ☑️
- Setting up bases in a hospital? ☑️
- Attacking from within nurseries? ☑️
- Hiding weapons and ammunition in kids’ rooms? ☑️
That’s them.
On our side?
- Ignoring human shields and attacking anyway? ❌
- Flattening the hospital that’s hosting the terror base? ❌
- Bombing nurseries from which our enemies attack? ❌
- Destroying kids rooms because they are storing weapons and ammunition? ❌ "
& continues
"So you see, we’re playing chess and they’re playing basketball.
They have their own rules and we won’t play by their rules. They sure as heck won’t play by ours.
But that’s only the beginning.
What did every war ever have in common that this war does not?
Um, they were all conducted above ground. You know, like a battlefield…
Not this one.
There has never been a war that is primarily fought under ground.
I don’t know if any of us understand the complexity here.
A friend fighting in Gaza told me that he cannot walk ten steps without stepping on an opening to a terror tunnel. They created a full blown underground system that is larger than the London Underground.
Add to that, that Hamas had decades to prepare for Israel’s ground invasion. Setting up traps in tunnels, elaborate hiding places, and more. They had all the time and money in the world to ensure a maximum number of IDF casualties. "
& continues
"But it doesn’t end there. Not even close.
Again, imagine the old school battlefield. Or if you want to look at more modern wars, there are tanks, artillery, infantry, and Air Force, all with a clear target and a clear mission.
Now forget all of that.
There is no battlefield. There is no clear target. There is a clear mission but total lack of clarity of how to finish this mission because there are surprises waiting for the soldiers at every corner.
The separation between civilian buildings and military structures does not exist. The battlefield here is one of the most densely populated areas in the world and that is Hamas’ best weapon, its own people.
Again, we’re playing chess, where the objective of the game is to minimize civilian death and maximize the elimination of terrorists. They’re playing basketball where the objective of the game is to maximize civilian deaths thereby getting the world to pressure Israel to withdraw and end the war.
IDF soldiers in Gaza are facing unprecedented complexity that has never been seen in the history of wars.
Think about it.
They can’t walk a single inch without the threat of an attack.
They could be attacked from above using an RPG or a sniper. They could be attacked from below using grenades and automatic weapons. They could be attacked using anti tank and anti aircraft missiles from within buildings. They can be attacked by walking into a booby trapped structure. And remember, they can’t just fire indiscriminately to clear the area before entering. There might be civilians there.
Add to that, Hamas has zero concerns about losing people. They thrive on it because every single person killed is presented as innocent, a lie the world has completely adopted and used to pressure Israel. So Israel wants minimal death. Hamas wants maximum death. Chess and basketball.
Also, we define victory as getting our hostages back and eliminating Hamas. They define victory as literally anything else. If one Hamas terrorist is left alive, in their book, they won this war. In fact, in a sick and twisted way, their leadership already thinks they won the war by the very fact that Israel is still fighting.
And finally, let’s talk tech.
The amount of tech being used in this war for the first time in history is truly insane. That requires a learning curve.
Take drones for example.
Drones have the potential to change the game.
They can go into tight spaces. They can detect terrorists in places humans can’t. They can give the IDF a Birds Eye view of an area. Drones are a no brainer in a war like this. The only issue is that no one knows how to maximize the effectiveness of drones without training.
There are endless types of drones.
There are tiny bug size consumer drones. Then there are larger consumer drones that use GPS to maintain stability. Well, that can’t work. So we need to remove the GPS chip from all the drones. Otherwise they pose a threat and can be used against us. Then there are larger drones that can carry weight. Then there are FPV drones that can fly in much tighter spaces but require more training. Then there are commercial drones. Thermal drones. Long range drones. And the list just goes on and on. "
& continues
"And that’s just drones.
What about robotics? Robotics are also used extensively in this war. Then there is endless vision tech, some of which was developed by Israeli startups. There is tech that can see through walls. There is tech that can see around corners.
All of this requires training.
So let’s just summarize this.
We have a war between two sides who are playing a totally different game with different rules and different definitions of what constitutes victory.
You have one side with zero restrictions and zero need to behave morally. You have the other side that is held to a higher standard of morality than anyone, and one little mess up can cause an international crisis. You have one side that wants to minimize civilian death and one side that’ll do anything to maximize it. You have one side behaving like cockroaches and hiding in every corner and under every rock and you have another side that has to use cutting edge tech to kill the bugs. "
& continues
"The bottom line is this.
What the IDF has accomplished in this war is not only incredible, it is historically unprecedented. Right now everyone is falsely claiming that Israel is committing genocide or killing indiscriminately, but when this war is over and the real numbers are exposed, the world will be in utter shock about how Israel won this war with historically low casualty numbers on its side and the total destruction of a terrorist organization that had decades to prepare for the war.
The few military strategists who are already analyzing this war have said clearly that what Israel is doing in Gaza right now is borderline miraculous and has never been done before.
If you want to get a clear picture of just how complex this war is and just how sophisticated the IDF is, just think about all the assassinations Israel has carried out, or even just look at the latest one carried out in Syria.
Not enough has been said about this assassination.
You have to remember that this was a highly senior and top secret meeting between the highest ranking Iranian official outside of Iran along with his deputy and multiple other senior terrorists from Iran and the Islamic Jihad. "
& lastly says
"Now remember, this wasn’t Israel’s first assassination. We’ve been doing this for decades. The world recognizes Israel’s superior intelligence capabilities. These officials clearly recognized the threat of being assassinated by Israel and took measures accordingly.
No one knew about this meeting. The meeting was intentionally held in a very sensitive and explosive (I am going to award myself ten points for that pun) area with several government buildings all around it, including the Iranian consulate as well as the Canadian one. That was not an accident.
And yet, Israel was able somehow, and I genuinely cannot understand how, to get the intel of who was in the meeting and where it was being held. They were able to take off in Israel, fly into enemy airspace without getting detected, and then conduct a precision attack that would take out everyone in the room and cause zero damage to the government buildings in its vicinity.
We read about this news and then continue scrolling. Few people understand just how complex this mission was and how miraculous it is that it was a perfect success. We take it for granted now, but military strategists will be teaching and analyzing this event for decades into the future.
So, no, the IDF is not weaker than in the past. The IDF is learning on the job how to fight a war that is near impossible to win, succeeding, and maintaining historically low casualty numbers on its side. There is no country or military that can teach Israel how to win this war. It’s never been done before.
Israel isn’t weaker. The nature of war has changed dramatically and Israel is writing the rule book in real time while withstanding unprecedented pressure from all directions. Military pressure. Political pressure. Diplomatic pressure.
And I haven’t even mentioned Hezbollah in the north.
It’s a new world and Israel is adapting to it in real time.
The statement that Israel is the strongest and most moral army in the world has never been truer than it is today!"

May 20, 2019 A must read article
Elliot Resnick typed online after the hideous Terrorist Attack in Israel of October 7, 2023 that "From the Chumash commentary of Rabbi Joseph Hertz, chief rabbi of England from 1913-1946:
"The fact is that the population of nearly every European country ... conquered its present homeland and largely destroyed the original inhabitants. Thus, the Saxon all but exterminated the Romanized Celts; and, in turn, the Saxons were 'harried' by the Normans on their conquest of England."
We lived in the Land of Israel long before the Arabs did, but even if we hadn't, why exactly should the clock be turned back to 1947? Why not to 1547 or 1047 or 547 or 47? Perhaps every population around the world should be repatriated to the land from which they originally came.
We shouldn't be any more defensive than other nations. In fact, we should be LESS defensive since we actually have a divine title to our land. Which other nation in the world can claim that?"

"I am so sick and tired of constantly being on the defense and apologizing.
I am so sick and tired of having to answer to anyone.
So here is a full list of things I am NOT sorry for and the world can either get used to it, or they can sit down and shut up.
I hereby do NOT apologize for:
- Existing. Israel is the only country that has to constantly justify its existence. “Coincidently” it’s also the only Jewish country. We’re not going anywhere. Now or ever.
- Our war in Gaza. There is not a single country in the world that would have acted differently than Israel after an attack like October 7th. We didn’t start this war but we will end it on our terms. Every innocent casualty in this war is sad, but it’s on Hamas, not Israel. Innocents die in war. And yes, that includes aid workers who find themselves in a war zone. It’s on Hamas. Every single one of them.
- The poverty in Gaza. Not on Israel. Gaza elected Hamas. Hamas steals food and aid from Gaza. Gazans have themselves to blame. Themselves and their elected leadership.
- Maintaining security control in Judea and Samaria and now Gaza. The people who call themselves Palestinians had a chance to build paradise. Instead they built a terror base. Israel handed them Gaza with no conditions. But when they elected Hamas and embraced terror, Israel had to protect itself by constructing a wall. October 7th is the result of them breaching that wall, which is evidence of why Israel needed it in the first place. "

There is definitely room for valid criticism, but once you cross over into the “Israel doesn’t have a right to exist”, you’re no longer expressing valid criticism. You’re saying Jews don’t deserve a home. That’s antisemitism and I’ll never stop pointing it out.
- The conditions in Gaza. You are worried about Gazans? Go speak to Egypt and tell them to open their borders. It’s not like they were brutally attacked by thousands of Palestinian terrorists. Hamas steals aid. Egypt closes its borders. None of this is on Israel.
- The Israeli government. Yea, you read that right. You don’t like the prime minister? Great. Then remove him in the next election. No one has any moral ground to call for the government of another country to be replaced. The Israeli government was democratically elected by the people of Israel. Biden, Schumer, and everyone else talking trash about Bibi, how do I say this nicely…? Who the hell asked you??
- Israel’s assassinations. Amazing how Israel can eliminate a huge terrorist with blood on his hands and somehow Israel is the bad guy. I am deeply proud of Israel’s intelligence and military capabilities and I hope and pray Israel continues to remove these terrorists from our planet.
- Zionism. Let me be clear. I am incredibly proud to be a Zionist. If that offends you, well, I cannot possibly care less. Jews deserve to come home after everything they’ve endured and no one is going to tell us what to do anymore.
- Settling our land. You wanna call it the West Bank? Go for it. I call it Judea and Samaria where the Jews originated. Wanna call it settlements? Go for it. I call it home.
Now, if you think I have a problem taking accountability or apologizing, let me apologize for some things.
Here are the things I DO apologize for:
- Letting a terrorist named Arafat hijack the word Palestine, a lie the world has completely adopted.
- Letting these Jordanians who call themselves Palestinians believe Israel will ever give them an inch of Israel.
- Leaving Gaza in 2005. We see the results now. We should never have given them anything for peace. They don’t want peace.
- Letting the world rename Judea and Samaria to “The West Bank”. No Israeli leader should ever use the word Palestinian or the phrase West Bank. Words matter.
- Playing along with the fantasy of a Palestinian state. They won’t ever have one and we need to stop with the act. Why won’t they? Because they don’t want one. They want no Israel. They won’t get it.
- Operating on Sinwar in an Israeli hospital when he had a deadly brain rumor. Shameful on our part.
- Waiting this long to go into Rafah. Every day we don’t go in is going to cost us in human life.
- Pretending that the vast majority of Gaza want peace when in reality, according to literally any survey, the support for Hamas in Gaza is overwhelming. Thousands of non Hamas terrorists took part in the events of October 7th. Hamas are the Nazis and Gaza is Germany. Sure, there are innocent people who didn’t elect the Nazis but that’s war and it’s unfortunate, but no one in their right mind would say that attacking Nazi germany was unjustified. The same goes for Gaza.
The days of us Jews following orders while our knees tremble in the face of some foreign government are over.
We are here to stay and that includes making sure Hamas is no more and that Gaza is no longer a threat to Israel. At any and all costs. That’s right.
ANY AND ALL COSTS!
That offends you? Sorry, not sorry!

"Israel’s enemies and critics ignore or conveniently forget the facts, as Arabs and their sympathizers continue to blame Israel for ‘starting’ the 1967 war.
Were the acts by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1967 against Israel aggressive enough to warrant Israel’s exercise of her right to self-defence?
The answer can be found on the official website of the Jordanian Government under the heading ‘The Disaster of 1967.’ It describes the events of the days prior to June 5, 1967 and clearly indicates that Jordan, at least, expected Egypt to launch the offensive war against Israel:
“On May 16, Nasser shocked the world by asking the United Nations to withdraw its forces from Sinai. To the surprise of many, his request was honored two days later. Moreover, the Egyptian president closed the Straits of Tiran on May 22. Sensing that war was now likely. … In response to the Israeli attack [on Egypt], Jordanian forces launched an offensive into Israel, but were soon driven back as the Israeli forces counterattacked into the West Bank and Arab East Jerusalem.”

"Sammy Davis Jr. , a proud Jew, was said to be the “greatest living entertainer in the world.”
Sammy often talked about a passage in the book “A History of the Jews,” by Abram L. Sachar, in which the author said:
“The Jews would not die. Three millennia of prophetic teaching had given them an unwavering spirit of resignation and had created in them a will to live which no disaster could crush.”
Davis was a fierce Zionist.
Upon visiting the Jewish nation, tears flowed down his face as he said he could not “find words to express my satisfactions at being in Israel, the mother country of my spirit and my religion.”

"Why saying ‘state’ to refer to Israel is antisemitic… it harkens back to the very antisemitic UN Resolution 181 (the 1947 Partition Plan). The British led an antisemitic coalition at the UN to steal even more land from Jews of the 22% of our homeland that by then had remained.
The goal was to create, in their words, an Arab ‘state’ - though one existed already since 1922 created from 78% of stolen Jewish land, Jordan, and a Jewish ’state.’
Luckily the Arabs said no and the Resolution did not pass. Hence, the UN did not ‘create’ Israel.
What happened in 1948 is that brave Jews, after nearly 20 years of armed struggle, liberated Israel. Israel was not created in 1948 or 1947. Israel was formed as a nation over 4,000 years ago.
Also, throughout the 1,812 years of occupation, there were robust Jewish communities and Jewish institutions in Israel.
Saying Israel, falsely, is a ’state’ diminishes its soveriegnty as a country and thus Israel is often times treated as a vassal state by the U.S and others. In reality, states are created (like Jordan) and/or are part of consortiums like the European countries forming ‘states’ of the EU or 7 different Kingdoms coming together to form the ‘states’ of the UAE.
No more saying ‘State of Israel.’ It is a country and a proud sovereign one.’

"Isn’t a Jewish state, by definition, racist and undemocratic?
FACT:
The Jewish people are a national and ethnic group that created the religion of Judaism. Therefore, the concept of a Jewish state is no more racist or undemocratic than the concept of a Japanese state, a Lithuanian state, or any other modern nation that is a democracy whose citizens are also bound together by shared identity, heritage, and culture. When the UN recommended the establishment of a Jewish state in 1947 and admitted Israel as a member in 1949,
it did not see any contradiction between its Jewish and democratic identity. The Jewish state set up a democratic, secular government and is one of the most ethnically diverse and progressive countries in the world. Arab citizens participate fully in government; equal rights are assured for women, gays, and minorities; and freedom of the press and of religion are protected. Israel grants people of Jewish heritage a fast track to citizenship, just as many other modern states, such as Poland, Finland, Greece, Armenia, and Germany, grant their diaspora populations special citizenship rights. Non-Jews can also apply to become citizens of Israel under naturalization procedures similar to those in other countries around the world."

""Of course, there is nothing virtuous about “victory” over Zionism. No matter how it is spun, anti-Zionism is the belief that the Jewish people should be stripped of their right to self-determination. It is a brazenly destructive ideology that fixates not on empowering Palestinians, but on disenfranchising Jews. In a world of dozens of nation-states organized around religious majorities (dozens of Muslim countries, India, etc.), it aims to upend the character of the only one that is Jewish. Unless one’s anti-Zionism involves equally loud calls for the systemic dismantlement of all the world’s religious nations (it usually doesn’t), then it is discrimination against the Jewish people."

"I tried using ChatGPT to better understand the accusation of Jews being occupiers in Israel:
ME:
archaelogically speaking, who was living in Israel first, Jewish people or Arab Muslims?
ChatGPT:
Archaeologically speaking, the Jewish people were present in the region known today as Israel before the arrival of Arab Muslims. The key historical points to consider are:
Jewish Presence: Archaeological evidence of ancient Israelite or Jewish presence in this region dates back to the Iron Age, around the 12th to 11th centuries BCE. This is evidenced by findings such as:Tel Dan Stele: An inscription dating to the 9th century BCE mentioning the "House of David," indicating the existence of a Jewish monarchy.
Khirbet Qeiyafa Inscription: A text in ancient Hebrew script dating to the 10th century BCE, one of the earliest examples of Hebrew writing.
Arab Muslim Arrival: The Arab Muslim presence in the region began with the Islamic conquests of the 7th century CE. In 634-640 CE, Arab Muslim forces conquered the Levant, which included the region of modern-day Israel. Prior to this, the area was under Byzantine control and predominantly Christian, with a significant Jewish minority.
Timeline Comparison:The Jewish historical presence in the region is rooted in the Iron Age, over a millennium before the Common Era.
The Arab Muslim presence began in the 7th century CE, with the Islamic conquests.
Cultural and Religious Evolution: It's important to note that both Jewish and Muslim identities have evolved over time. The early Israelites, whose presence is marked by archaeological findings, were different in many ways from the Jewish communities at the time of the Arab conquests. Similarly, the Arab Muslims who arrived in the 7th century CE brought with them a culture and religion that was distinct from the pre-existing local cultures.
Complex Historical Interactions: The history of this region is characterized by a succession of different powers and cultures. After the ancient Israelite period, the area saw various ruling powers, including the Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and finally the Arab Muslims. Each of these periods left a distinct mark on the region's cultural and historical landscape.
In summary, archaeologically, the Jewish people have evidence of their presence in the region of modern-day Israel that predates the arrival of Arab Muslims by several centuries."

"Actually, the ancient Philistines recorded in the Bible and history came from the Greek Islands and some parts of the mainland Greece. They have no connection, at all, the to the Arab /Muslim of modern times who called themselves the “Palestinians.”
From those ancient people, the Philistines, the word “Palestine” .came into being
.
There is no genuine ethic group or race who are the “Palestinians.”
Early in the last century a anyone living in that land, Arab or Jew, who lived in that land was called a ”Palestinian.”
Only after 1967 did the Arab/Muslims start to refer to themselves , exclusively , by the word “Palestinian.”
The reason for that is that they felt that by giving themselves that title they would appear to have some kind of valid claim on that land." & also said
"The truth is the God had given all this land that now composes the State of Israel, including all of the West Bank, to the Jewish people. This may be found in the Bible, as seen in, for example, Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105:7-11. 135:4.
In other words the Jews have tall this land by Divine Right. Furthermore, the Jewish people should have this land by historic rights as shown in First Kings 4:20,21, 24,25. 8:55, 56."

"Did the Jews Steal Land?
Although they were unhappy with the partition, Jews did not rob poor Arab peasants of their land, as many of today’s critics suggest. By 1949, Britain had allocated 187,500 acres of cultivable land to Arabs and only 4,250 acres to Jews. So Jews were forced to pay exorbitant prices for arid land to wealthy, often absentee landlords—$1,000 per acre, when rich black soil in Iowa was getting $110 per acre.
By 1947, 73 percent of land purchased by Jews came from large landowners, including Arab mayors of Gaza, Jerusalem, and Jaffa, and leaders of the Arab nationalist movement. In his memoir, King Abdullah of Jordan said the story of Jewish displacement of Arabs from their land was a fiction: “Arabs are as prodigal in selling their land as they are in . . . weeping [about it].”
It is true that hundreds of thousands of Arabs felt compelled to abandon their homes during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Yet the vast majority of these Arabs left their homes because Arab leaders told them to, or because they simply wanted to get out of the line of fire. The Syrian Prime Minister Haled al Azm wrote in his memoirs, “Since 1948 we have been demanding the return of the refugees to their homes. But we ourselves are the ones who encouraged them to leave.” The Economist, a frequent critic of Zionists, reported in the October 2, 1948 issue that “the Higher Arab Executive . . . clearly intimated that those Arabs who remained in Haifa and accepted Jewish protection would be regarded as renegades.”

"Rant incoming. Sorry, I need to get this off my chest.
If one more person ridicules my posts about God’s involvement in this war…
Before even getting into the actual question, why do people think it’s normal behavior to come to someone’s page and comment on their post ridiculing their belief system?
You don’t want to believe in God? That’s your prerogative. But why does it bother you so much that I do? Why the need to call my faith ridiculous or absurd?
Why do you have so much disdain for God and those who believe in Him?
Furthermore, if you’re going to ask where God was on October 7th or during the holocaust, that’s fine. It’s an age old question that philosophers have struggled with since the beginning of time. Why do bad things happen to good people?
But if you ask that when bad things happen, at least be consistent and honest, and see God when good things happen.
You got up this morning? You breathed oxygen? You can see? You can hear? You are healthy? Great. Thank God.
Israel intercepted hundreds of missiles and drones with minimal damage? Thank God!
But if you are only concerned with God when bad things happen, then that’s just hypocritical.
But again, your life, your choice. But write whatever you want on your posts. Don’t come to mine and trash my faith. It’s rude and childish.
But it doesn’t end there.
The other side also drives me crazy.
I write a post thanking the IDF, and the “What about God?” comments start flowing in. I thank God for the miracles that I see and the “This wasn’t God, it was the IDF” comments start flowing in.
Honestly, you can’t win.
And now to the issue itself.
Imagine the following scenario. You’re 3 years old and your father brings you to get a flu shot.
You don’t know what’s about to happen but when the nurse takes out that needle, you begin to scream at the top of your lungs! “What’s about to happen? What’s she about to do with that needle?”
And then she stabs you.
You look at your dad and think to yourself, “Why is he letting this happen to me? Did he stop loving me? What kind of father lets his kid get stabbed and he just stands there?”
No matter what your dad tells you, you cannot fathom a situation in which this pain is justified. You’re 3! Your brain cannot register that this painful experience might actually be good for you. There is no way this is good for you, you think in your finite brain.
I cannot fathom a situation in which the suffering of the Jewish people today is justified. There is no scenario in which I can understand that this is for my own good. How could I even say that? For my own good?? I’m getting stabbed with a needle! Over and over!
But that’s the thing. Our brains are finite. We are human. We cannot possibly understand that there is a bigger picture that we’re not seeing.
I know. It’s a terrible thing to even say that somehow this is for our own good. Our father is sitting back and letting us suffer. Did He stop loving us? What kind of father sits back and lets his child suffer this way?"
The comment continues
"It’s hard to digest but that’s only because, relative to God, we have the brain of a 3 year old.
But it goes even deeper.
How could God do the Holocaust? How could He do October 7th?
That’s the thing. He didn’t.
Hitler was responsible for the Holocaust and Hamas was responsible for October 7th.
God gave us free choice. That’s what makes the human species unique.
Hitler made a very very very bad choice. But that was his choice, not God’s. Could God have stopped him? Of course, but free choice is fundamental to the way God created the universe. It’s embedded in the creation!
He doesn’t take away free choice even when humans make a terrible choice. He can hold them accountable, but He won’t take away free choice.
So just to sum up.
Don’t go to someone else’s post and ridicule their most fundamental beliefs. That says more about you than anything. Don’t do it. It’s rude.
And yes, understanding how God is allowing this to happen is a difficult question.
Isn’t God good? What kind of “father” lets October 7th happen? The same kind of father that lets a nurse stab his son because that’s what the son needs at that moment, no matter how hard it is for that 3 year old to comprehend.
And finally, God can of course bend nature so people don’t make the wrong choices, but that means we will have no freedom, and we essentially become like animals and not humans.
That’s not how God works. That’s not how the world He created operates.
So, it’s ok to struggle with the question. It’s a valid question. But be honest about it and ask yourself if you really want to know the answer or if you’re just using this very legitimate question to ridicule your heritage and the person posting about it.
One is valid, the other is not, especially on my own page!
And now, let’s talk about the war with that lens.
If you look at the events of the last six months, and don’t see God’s involvement, I’m sorry to tell you, but you need to clean your glasses. They are apparently very dirty.
Now before I go on, I’m going to tell you right now, what I’m about to say will offend many people, and that’s fine.
Why is it fine? Because if you lived in the time of Purim and I told you that one day, the Jewish people will celebrate this story, you would have immediately attacked me for being insensitive. "
& continues
"If you lived in the time of Passover, 210 years of back-breaking slavery and persecution, and I told you that we’d one day celebrate this period, that would have been the end of our friendship.
The same is true for Hanukkah and every other Jewish holiday.
At the time, we were dealing with horrible suffering. Don’t forget that Purim was the near genocide of the Jewish people. Real genocide, not the genocide that people make up today.
With that context, allow me to tell you that we will one day celebrate this victory. We won’t forget the pain and suffering, just like we don’t forget the pain and suffering of our slavery in Egypt. But we WILL dance again.
The miracles are everywhere. You just have to see them.
But it’s not easy to see miracles when you’re deep in the pain and devastation. I’ll remind you that 80% of the Israelites didn’t see the miracles and stayed back in Egypt. 80% didn’t see the miracles! How?! The ten plagues? How could they not have recognized God?
And here’s the controversial part.
October 7th was one of, if not the darkest day in our history. I can’t use the word miracle with regard to that day. It’s too painful.
But hear me out.
If I told you that 3,000 genocidal terrorists marched into a country smaller than New Jersey and they had many hours of free hand, plus unlimited access to automatic weapons, step back and tell me this… How many people would you expect them to murder?
50,000? 100,000? 200,000? Think about it! 8 hours of spraying bullets in all directions. For 8 hours!"
& lastly says
"Now before you attack, don’t misunderstand me. The pain of October 7th is unbearable. Don’t lecture me on loss. I know grief and this hurts, and might never stop hurting. And I can’t call it a miracle.
But I can say that I would expect this country to be wiped out after October 7th if God wasn’t involved!
How could I say that? God was involved in October 7th?! Yes, and it was one hell of a painful shot. I can’t even fathom that a good God would let that happen. See above…
But forget October 7th. The pain surrounding that dark day is too raw. If what I wrote about October 7th offends you, fine, forget that.
Tell me please how tens of thousands of rockets fired into densely populated areas have killed so “few” Israelis. Again, terrible thing to say.
Every person we lose is a whole world. Of course. But if you are able to step back and look at this war through a historic lens, you’ll realize that so many rockets killing so few people is a miracle of biblical proportions.
“Na, we have Iron Dome. It’s not a miracle.”
Um I got news for you. The Iron Dome is a miracle!!!
That’s not me saying that. Dr Gold who invented it told me personally that when he had the idea, every expert he spoke to told him there is absolutely no way to do what he wanted to do. Detonate rockets mid air? Impossible!
And here we are, with a system that has over 95% accuracy. The Iron Dome is a technological wonder or what I would call a miracle.
But also, what about the rockets that didn’t get intercepted by the Iron Dome? Where are they?
“Empty spaces”
Um, have you seen how small this country is? Where are these empty spaces? How did tens of thousands of rockets fall in empty spaces?
If you write that off as a coincidence, as ten thousand coincidences, sorry, but again, clean your glasses.
Then there are the “Those rockets aren’t really so dangerous.”
Oh, really now.
Need I remind you that one hit an Arab village yesterday and severely injured many soldiers? That was one rocket. One.
Listen, again, I get it. It’s too painful now to see God. Trust me. I get it.
But when you think of the Yom Kippur war, what is the first thing you think of? An amazing victory? Maybe a miracle?
Do you know how many people we lost in that war? 2,656!!!!
That’s an unfathomable number.
Even with October 7th, plus the losses we’ve endured in the war, we are not even close to that number. But the Yom Kippur war; along with all of the wars Israel was forced to fight, is remembered as a historic victory.
Listen, the bottom line is this. If you look at the events of the past 6 months clearly, you’ll inevitably reach the conclusion that there is something bigger going on here. This war, from beginning to end, does not make sense.
You want to call it a miracle? Go ahead. You think that’s offensive and can’t believe I could dare call this horrible war a miracle? That’s fine too. Call it whatever you want but do so on your own page, not mine.
I see God everywhere in this war. Why does that offend you so much? It helps me get through the day. If standing on my head made me feel better, would you attack me for that too? I want to believe, and you want to not believe?
Great. We can agree to disagree, but I cannot agree with people coming to my posts to attack me for wanting to stand on my head. Leave it alone. Why do you even care?
And here’s the most controversial part of all. It’s not the IDF that’s winning this war. We didn’t have the IDF for thousands of years, and we survived.
And it’s not God that is winning this war. God doesn’t have F35 fighter jets.
It’s both!!
God and His vehicle, the IDF are winning this war, and we owe gratitude to them both. God and the IDF are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they complement each other perfectly.
So, thank you. Hashem, and thank you, IDF!

Then exactly 7days to the American Election of November 2016, I used Trump’s Photo for my Facebook profile picture. Trump won the Election against all odds, and became President. It was when Trump moved American Embassy to Jerusalem and recognized Jerusalem as the Eternal Capital Israel that I realized why GOD showed me what He Chose him for. When I reflected on it vis-a-vis the unique Mandate GOD gave me to advocate for Israel in my country, Nigeria, I arrived at a conclusion that GOD'S COVENANT WITH ISRAEL IS A TRANSGENERATIONAL COVENANT; ironically, many Jews trivialize this unique heritage of theirs.

"Peace Now, which favors unilateral withdrawal and dismantling of Jewish communities in the Judea and Samaria, estimates the Jewish communities there take up only 1.36 percent of the land. The human rights organization B’tselem, which monitors Jewish building construction on the Judea and Samaria and reports its scope to
parties abroad, also found the extent of Jewish settlement to be marginal. A B’tselem study published in 2002 found the percentage of developed areas of Jewish communities on the Judea and Samaria comprises 1.7 percent of all land on the Judea and Samaria; if one includes non-developed municipal areas (almost all of which is unpopulated and zoned to meet expansion needs), 5.1 percent of the Judea and Samaria is ‘occupied’ by Jewish communities. The other 94.9 percent is either land owned by local Arabs and registered in the Land Registry, IDF military installations, public lands administered by the government or undeveloped public land zoned to local councils."

"ESSENCE OF ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION IN THE JEWISH STATE
Though Israel has been criticized for its use of administrative detention, many other liberal democracies also use this policy to protect their citizens from terrorist attacks or to control illegal immigration. However, no other liberal democracy faces the systematic, organized terrorism at its borders that Israel confronts. Its administrative detention policy must be viewed
in this context. It is a life-saving tool."

"Jews Have Lived in the Judea and Samaria Since Ancient Times
Following the 1967 Six-Day War, the rise of Jewish communities symbolized the restoration of a dimension of history often ignored by Arabs and unknown to most non-Israelis, which is that Jews had lived in the Judea and Samaria and the Old City of Jerusalem during
Mandate times. That period ended only after they were killed or driven out in the aftermath of the 1948 war – when Jewish communities were obliterated. Between 1949 and 1967, Jordanian military personnel razed Jewish communities, destroyed 58 synagogues, and used headstones from the Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives to build roads.66 In the course of the 1948 War,
the Judea and Samria was rendered judenrein – ethnically cleansed of Jews
– by Jordanian invaders."

"Here is my message as an Israeli Jew to the braindead campus idiots chanting vacuous slogans and meaningless insults calling us colonizers and occupiers.
Jews in Israel are the original decolonizers.
Decolonization is what Israel is all about.
Your people persecuted us in your lands. In Europe, in your Muslim countries, in Africa.
Those of us you did not kill you threw out, telling us to go to Palestine where we belong.
So we went to Palestine and resurrected our ancient language, our ancient culture, which we rediscovered in the land that had been ours for thousands of years.
When you truly learn words in Hebrew and their origin, it takes you back three thousand years, and back to one place.
Here, in Israel.
Show me one example of colonization where this happens.
Your persecuctions drove us to where we originated, and there we found our ancient soul, our ancient culture.
And we created a beautiful land.
This is the success you hate so much,
That we Jews are not colonisers, but the original decolonizers of an ancient land called Israel.
Israel is the global example of decolonization.
And you continue to hate us for our success."

"THE HYPOCRISY OF ISRAEL CRITICS
It is time to point out the hypocrisy of those who routinely excoriate Israel for alleged human rights abuses but typically ignore Iran, Syria, China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and other countries deemed “not free” in annual Freedom House assessments. We should ask why the UN is routinely upset about the so-called occupation of the West Bank, but is silent about the illegal annexation of northern Cyprus by Turkey for the last four decades, the occupation of Kashmir by India and Tibet by China, the 200,000 dead in the Syrian civil war, and the looming war across the Middle East between Shiites and Sunnis—not to mention ISIS atrocities against both Christians and Muslims. Critics of Israel regularly ignore human rights abuses against Palestinian Christians perpetrated by Palestinian Muslims and disregarded by the Palestinian Authority.
Nor did these European critics of Israel observe that the Jewish state is the only true liberal democracy in the Middle East. This is significant, because it is good for Palestinians. It is the only country in the Middle East that provides freedoms of speech and press, free trade unions, and religious freedom—for women, ethnic and religious minorities, and homosexuals. While Palestinian Arabs in Israel are free to take advantage of all these privileges, some choose not to. Still, overall, the 1.3 million Arabs who live in Israel are the best-educated, healthiest, and best-fed Palestinians in the Middle East. The vast majority of this prosperity has come from citizenship or other participation in the Israeli state."

"As a strictly legal matter, technically the Jews didn't take Palestine from the Arabs; they took it from the British, who exercised sovereign authority in Palestine under a League of Nations mandate for thirty years prior to Israel's declaration of independence in 1948. Where was the Arab resistance against British prior to 1948?"

"FACT
If Israelis , Jews or Zionists were truly colonisers then Hebrew would be the spoken language, Judaism the main religion and Zionism the main political ideology in numerous countries other than confined to the tiny and only Jewish state of Israel.
However , Arabic is the main language and Sunni or Shia Islam the main religion and ideology of numerous countries .
English as the main language and Christianity as the main religion is not confined to England I but to numerous other countries . Similarly French , Spanish and the Portuguese language and Catholicism as the main religion are widely used in Africa , the Caribbean and South America.
So tell me who are the true colonisers ."

Well, I have some good news for you.
We will gladly give the land back! No, seriously.
But only after YOU the world give your land back to the native people you stole it from.
When the Australians give the island back to the Aborigines.
And the New Zealanders give it back to the Maori.
When the Americans and the Canadians and the Spanish give the whole continent back to the Natives.
Alaska to the Eskimos.
Hawaii to Hawaiians.
When China frees Tibet.
When South Africa returns to the original Africans.
When Egypt return Sinai to the Bedouin and Pakistan will be India again.
When the Swedes and Norwegians and Swedes give the land to the Sami.
When the English frees Ireland and Scotland.
When France returns to the Gauls
and Iraq to Babylonians.
And Persia is Sumer again
Then and only then will we gladly give our land back.
But not to the watermelon people 🍉
but to those who were there before us.
To the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Moabites, the Girgashites, the Hittites, the Midianites and the Levites.
but…
Alas!
They no longer exist.
So we will stay here.
But YOU can happily go back to where ever YOU came from.
And if you don't like it, well… Keep your mouth shut.

"People often tell me that Israel was created by ethnically cleansing the Land of Arabs. So why are there still 2,000,000+ Arab Israeli citizens of the same background as those of Gaza and the West Bank (who later called themselves "Palestinians" in the 1960s)? Why didn't Israel "kick them out" too? Oh yeah, because Arabs who didn't heed the call to voluntarily leave while the attacking, aggressing Arab states carried out ethnic cleansing AGAINST JEWS in the Land, were never prevented from staying... those who left were simply not permitted to come back, because they had sided with the genocidal attackers of the nation (i.e. treason). We can argue whether that is fair, or nice or what not, because clearly the claim that Arabs were "kicked out" is not reflected by either history or the demographics of the State of Israel."

"On January 25th 2006, the people of Gaza voted a vile terrorist group into power. What followed was 18 years of corruption, violence and intimidation. Billions of dollars intended for new homes, schools and hospitals found their way into the pockets of corrupt so-called leaders or were used to buy weapons. Gaza’s population has been poisoned against Israel, as recently evidenced by the handing out of sweets in celebration at the murder of innocent Jews. What these people have to understand (and preferably sooner rather than later) is that it is Hamas and their Iranian puppet masters who are the real enemy, and not Israel."

"Apartheid-era South Africa was a state-sanctioned system of racial separation and discrimination which dominated nearly every aspect of daily life between 1948 and 1994. This is not even remotely the case in Israel, where there is one law for all citizens and minorities have full political rights. These rights are enshrined in Israel’s legal system, including its founding document – the Declaration of Independence."

"I read something recently that deeply resonated.
Over time, and as history continues to evolve, the modern state of Israel will be remembered as a bigger miracle than the splitting of the sea and the exodus from Egypt.
I thought about this a lot.
I’ve said this before but if you have ever studied the Torah even on a very basic level, you must have asked yourself a very elementary question. “How on earth did the Jewish people not recognize what was happening?”
Ten plagues, the world’s leading empire taken to its knees, a sea splitting, food coming down from the heavens, clouds guiding a nation, and eventually, that nation with millions of people entering a country, defeating its mighty inhabitants, and establishing a society. And yet; the Jewish people complained. They complained and sinned. They were deeply divided in their opinions and faith.
“How is that even possible after everything they experienced? How were they so blind? So stubborn. So oblivious!”
I don’t know the answer. But I do know that history repeats itself. And I know that the Jewish people, as the Torah tells us, is a stubborn nation. We see what we want to see and ignore what we want to ignore.
We are taught that we have no prophecy left in the world. No prophecy and no supernatural miracles. But let’s not forget that even the splitting of the sea many biblical scholars and others explain was a totally natural occurrence. Whatever the case may be, blatant miracles or not, bending nature or not, the miracles we have experienced over the last 71 years, are no less magnificent.
Stop and think. Really think about it.
A weak persecuted nation whose existence every empire has, at one point or another, tried to extinguish. A people who make up such a tiny percentage of the global population and who endured the worst humanity has to offer.
The Jewish people who rose from the ovens and gas chambers after thousands of years exiled from their homeland, returning home? The nations who tried to annihilate us or at best, sat idly by while others did the dirty work, those same nations declaring our right to return home?
And then after that historic moment, the first of its kind in the history of the world, then the neighbors in the region declare that the tiny strip of land, that microscopic spec on the map, it was just too much for the Jewish people to own. And so they attack. United as one. With armies. With tanks. And the weakened Jewish people, the farmers who were busy planting seeds, pick up theirs sticks and fight. And win. Multiple times!
And then, for the next 71 years, this tiny little group of people proceed to change the world on a global scale. Israel, a country no one wants to exist goes on to become a world leading empire on all fronts.
Those same people who yelled at us to get out of Europe and go to Palestine are now telling us to get out of Palestine and go back to Europe. You can’t make this stuff up.
It’s also important to recognize that the nations played a significant role in the miracles of the Bible. Just like we ask ourselves how the Jews didn’t recognize God’s direct involvement, how did the nations not recognize that they shouldn’t mess with the Jews? Wasn’t it obvious to them that they would lose and Israel, the nation, would prevail? Stubbornness.
So too today. Is the world blinded by that good old fashioned Jew hatred? You better believe they are. Logic plays absolutely no role anymore. None of it makes any sense. Not the UN. Not the EU. Not the Labor party in the UK. Not even the US. None of it. People aren’t in charge. "

"WHAT BIDEN LEFT OUT
President Biden did in fact say "So let me be clear violent protest is not protected. Peaceful protest is.”
What he should have added but did not is this: “Your protests are based on the following three lies. 1. Israel is an apartheid state, 2. Israel is a genocidal state, and 3. Israel is an occupier state.
So let me clear up your confusion about Israel.
1. If Israel were an apartheid state Muslim Arabs would not sit on Israel’s Supreme Court, would not be doctors and administrators at their hospitals, would not be appointed as professors and heads of academic departments at their universities, and would not allow an Arab political party to participate in the government.
2. If Israel were committing genocide the Arab population would not have increased from 120,000 in 1948 to over two-million in 2024.
3. If Israel were an occupier state, it would not have permitted Palestinian Arabs to live in the disputed territories of Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem once Israel freed those locations from Jordanian occupation in 1967. If Israel were an occupier state it would not have returned the Sinai to Egypt in 1982. And if Israel were an occupier state it would not have left Gaza in 2005 in the hands of Palestinian Arabs, who then foolishly voted for Hamas to govern them.
In conclusion, I suggest you research the historical facts of the Middle East on your own and not swallow the poisonous brew fed to you by those ignorant of history and the usual gaggle of anti-Semites."

"Jewish state is a desert, and water resources are scarce, but today it produces 20% more water than it needs. What can the world learn from Israel’s experience?
Israel’s leadership in sustainable water management began with finding solutions to the country’s first and foremost problem: the uneven distribution of freshwater throughout the country –– an issue that Zionist thinker Theodor Herzl recognized in his 1902 book Altneuland with a “fantasy plan” to transport water great distances.
That fantasy began morphing into reality soon after Israel declared its independence in 1948 as waves of new immigrants lacked sufficient water for drinking and farming.
To supply the growing demand, Israel’s national water company Mekorot, began constructing the National Water Carrier.
This water transportation network was designed to pump water from the northern Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) and transfer water from existing regional water projects to central and southern Israel.
A worker at the Eshkol Water Filtration Plant in northern Israel, the first of its kind in the country when it was constructed in June 2007 by Mekorot. The plant filters water pumped from the Kinneret.
But upon its completion in 1964, 80% of the water transported by this system was allocated for agriculture. Clearly, the National Water Carrier alone could not satisfy both agriculture and household needs.
Luckily, a solution was already in development thanks to the innovative genius of Simcha Blass and his son Yeshayahu, who began developing a drip irrigation technology in 1959. Their revolutionary method slowly applies water directly to the roots of crops through a network of tubes, valves and drippers.

Because this delivery method avoids the full brunt of evaporation, plants absorb 95 percent of the water applied to them – much more than sprinkler irrigation, surface irrigation or flood irrigation. With drip irrigation, less water could be allocated to farms without compromising agricultural output.

"I hate to be a downer when everyone is so pumped up, but if the operation in Rafah is anything like the ones that proceeded it, many soldiers will die because Israel's leaders value their lives less than they value the lives of guilty Arab civilians.
Some people see rabbis leading IDF soldiers in inspiring prayers. I see them leading sheep to slaughter. If I had a son in the army, I would urge him to do everything in his power not to participate in any mission in Gaza.
I can already hear the objections: What if everyone did that? Well, everyone won't. So the mission will proceed with just as many people and my son will still be alive.
But what if everyone TRULY did that? Well, if they did, then Israel would have no option but to change the way it conducts wars. All leaders – even absolute tyrants – give in when their people simply say no (as Hitler did in Berlin in 1943, for example, in response to the Rosenstrasse protest).
(Well, some tyrants gamble and kill thousands of their own people in an effort to reassert their authority. But I don't think we really have to worry about that in this instance.)"

"I witnessed Israel choosing life as it fights against a ‘death cult’ "

"Something happened to me yesterday and I have to admit, I was shocked. I am ashamed to say it, but I was shocked!
I was on the way back from Toronto to Israel. Actually I was back in Israel getting off the plane.
We were all walking down that long corridor leading into Ben Gurion airport. It was basically a single file line. Nothing out of the ordinary.
But a few people in front of me, there were some people arguing. It looked like they were arguing about who was before whom in line…
Things were getting heated.
One of the people was an elderly secular lady, probably in her early 70s. The other was a chareidi (ultra orthodox) family, a husband, wife, and two kids.
“Oh boy, I did not miss this, seeing Jews fighting with each other…” is what I thought to myself.
The tension between the religious and the secular in Israel is well known. When the media in Israel is not talking about the war, that’s what they’re talking about. The internal division in Israel.
So I see this secular lady getting visibly worked up while talking to an ultra orthodox family. Of course they’re fighting. The news keeps telling me these people are supposed to hate each other.
Well, guess what. They weren’t fighting.
So then what was the topic they seemed to be getting all worked up about?
You see, the religious family had a few kids and a ton of bags along with two baby strollers. The secular lady had one small carry on.
What were they arguing about?
The secular lady was asking if she could help them and take some of their bags. The family didn’t want to let an elderly lady carry their things. They were younger. They could handle it.
But the lady wasn’t letting up.
“Just give me two bags. I have free hands. Let me carry them for you.”
“No, it’s ok. Really. Thanks. But we’re ok.”
“So one bag. Give me one bag. Let me help!”
Back and forth a few times until finally the family gave the lady two of their lightest bags.
The elderly lady put them on her trolley carry on and began to walk. But they kept falling off and getting dragged.
The mother went over to the lady, adjusted the bags on the trolley, and watched as this elderly lady carried her family’s bags for her.
It was clear that the Chareidi family didn’t want to let the elderly lady carry their bags. They felt it was disrespectful. But it was also clear that as much as they didn’t want to let her carry the bags, she wanted even more to yes carry them. And so the family let her. For HER. And so when she was struggling, they didn’t take the bags back, they helped her carry them.
Here we have two Israelis who could not be more different “fighting” for the other to be comfortable.
Don’t believe anything you read in the media. This is Israel. This is the real Israel. This is not the kind of story that gets clicks.
Lies sell. Hatred sells. Poison sells.
The love that Jews feel for one another? That’s not as exciting as showing two Jews fighting over the war or some political issue.
This was beautiful and it was just a regular occurrence in Israel.
In fact, it was so “regular” that I kind of forgot about it. I didn’t even think to write about it. I didn’t tell my wife or kids about it. It was just a normal thing in Israel.
But a few minutes ago, it occurred to me that this normal event was anything but normal. You wouldn’t see anything like this anywhere else in the world. And you sure as heck won’t see it written up in any online publication or newspaper.
That’s why I wrote this post, to tell you, the Jewish people are a lot more united than the media would have you believe.
It is that unity that is at the core of our strength and it is the reason we will win this war and will be here after Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran are long gone.
I even chose this picture because I knew you’d read the post thinking it was some “juicy” story about two Jews hating each other. See how that works?
Don’t believe the lies. We are united. We are strong. We are one. And we will win!

"Responding to accusations of Jewish White Supremecy:
Jews have been VICTIMS of racism and white supremacy for thousands of years.
"White" refers to Western European, Christian, colonialism, which created colonies around the world, ran the slave trade, and wiped out Native Americans.
Jews had no part in any of that. When all that was happening, the same Whites targeted Jews, with almost continual ghettoization, repeated displacements, state theft of assets, and *actual* genocide.
Zionism ISN'T racism or white supremacy -- it's the OPPOSITE. The Jewish homeland was a response to racism and white supremacy. Israel is a refugee state.
There have been Christian (and Arab) territories and colonies all over the world-- but no Jewish ones. Israel is 19 times smaller than California."

Nothing Justifies the Blatant Hypocrisy & Double Standards , the impossible unreasonable higher standards against Jews & Israel. Israel is in a unique situation in the World , the one and only nation faced with the constant threat of Extermination, Israel has valid legitimate security concerns , that no other nation in the World faces, Jewish Israelis don't just wake up and say "What can we do to make life unbearable for Palestinians" Jewish Israelis have no Choice but to have a Powerful Military, Intelligence and Security
Christianity and 2,000 years of
Christian persecution of Jews
Directly caused the Nazi Holocaust , we cannot deny that Fact
The least Christians can do is make amends, reparations & restitution to the Jewish people. Christianity has done enough damage to the Jewish people. Christians have a Moral Obligation to Make sure a Holocaust never happens again anywhere in the World. Even if you take the view that Israel becoming a Nation Again in 1948 was Not related to
Bible Prophecy , even then many
Christians still believe and know in their Hearts God is
Pro-Israel and Loves Israel and that God wants them to have their Ancient Homeland ! That the Jewish people still have a Moral,Legal,Biblical and Historical Right to it's land. That God Still Loves and Supports Israel in 2024. The Facts and Truth are on Israel's side. Those who are Anti-Israel are Heartless Ignorant Selfish smug judgemental liars, they should place themselves in the shoes of Jewish Israelis
Jewish Israelis are Never taught to Hate and murder others like the so-called
"Palestinians" and others are always taught to Hate and Murder Jews
Israel remains Morally,Legally and Intellectually Superior to it's enemies 99 percent of the time. I'm Not saying Israel is perfect or can do no wrong. Not saying that . Israel is Never the
Aggressor. Israel Never starts any of the Wars in the Mideast
I have read about many instances of God's Divine Protection of Israel since 1948 , God's Divine Miracles and Protection of Israel since 1948. Showing that God is on Israel's side !
Replacement Theology aka
Supersessionism is False and unbiblical , but even if the Jewish people today are No longer the chosen people and just Another group of people like the English,Irish,Scottish,Italians, etc. Even then , God still Loves the Jewish people !! Just as God Loves all other Races & Ethnic Groups

"This new tee of mine has more truth on it than all of the mainstream media’s coverage of Israel, combined.
Israel wasn’t established in 1948. Israel was established in 1273 BC when the Israelites, aka, the Jews conquered the land of Israel.
The Israelites conquered the land in 1273. The land was then conquered by the Assyrians, then the Babylonians, then the Israelites returned, followed by the Roman conquest.
In the 600's CE, the Muslims took the land and colonized almost all of North Africa, the Middle East and most of Spain. Read that again. Who are the colonizers?
There has never been a split second that there were no Jews in the land of Israel. Not one split second.
The Jews are indigenous to the land of Israel and we are called Jews named after Judea, what the world today calls The West Bank.
Israel, aka Zion, aka the foundation of Zionism, is mentioned endless times in Jewish scripture and prayer. Israel is the center of the entire religion.
Therefore, trying to artificially separate Zionism from Judaism is preposterous. Zionism is perhaps the most core thing to Judaism that there is.
Right alongside Shabbat and kosher, the Torah commands Jews to live in Israel. You cannot separate the Torah from Israel.
So when the world tries to pretend that you can be Jewish without the yearning and longing for Israel, it is a blatant and ridiculous lie, not to mention that over 90% of Jews consider themselves Zionists.
Israel has always been the homeland of the Jews. It always has been, and it always will be whether our enemies and the global community accepts that fact or not.
That doesn’t mean we can’t share it with friends but the head of the household here are the Jews. You want to come visit me in my home? You are welcome, I’ll even give you the dignity of total freedom here, but if you come to my home and threaten my family, we are going to have a problem.

"May I ask you a question? I really want an answer to this and I’d love an answer that does not include a political opinion. I just had an observation and I’d like a real explanation.
How come you rarely, if ever see pro Israel activists/advocates using horrible profanity, making personal insults, and calling for atrocious violence, and somehow that is ALL you see in the anti Israel (not calling them pro Palestinian. I think we’re past that charade.) crowd?
Again, I am not talking about politics right now. This is a phenomenon for which I’d like an explanation.
The Israel side shows up to protests, sings songs together, and chants for peace, while the anti Israel crowd gets together to chant about their desire for actual genocide (Again, the charade is over. From the river to the sea is a call for genocide. That’s not my opinion, it’s a geographical fact. Open a map.), to hold horrible signs about why Hitler was right, and to harass any Jews or Jewish institutions they can.
Why? Why is that? What are two sides so unbalanced?
And before you send me a picture or an article about some extremist on the Israeli side, sure, there are extremists, and they are rejected by 99.999% of the Jewish nation.
They’re the exception to the rule, not the rule.
So why?
Why do I get the most nauseating messages every single day from people who call themselves Pro Palestinian while I, or anyone I know, have never sent such a message in my life?
Why are Jewish creators harassed non stop just because they’re jewish even if they never stepped foot in Israel, but Israel supporters don’t go harassing random Muslims?
I’d appreciate a serious answer to this.
And then, once I know the answer, my next question is, how do people not see who the good guys are and who the bad guys are? How could it possibly be any clearer?
I’d love some answers. 🙏"

It is the day set aside to remember the Fallen Soldiers, the Fallen Warriors, the Fallen Heroes who fought, bled and died for the Jewish Nation.
In the streets of Jerusalem and in the city of Tel Aviv, in the battlefields of the Sinai Peninsula, in Lebanon, in the Golan Heights and in West Bank, Judea and Samaria and in Gaza, these are some of places where courage, bravery and selfless sacrifice was common by the Jewish warriors, the mighty men and women of valor, the Lions and Lionesses of Zion.
On this most reverent and solemn day also is remembered all the Israeli civilians who's lives were cut short, snuffed out murdered by the plague, the cancer of Palestinian Arab-Islamist terrorism.
This year has particular meaning, as over 600 IDF soldiers lost their lives since the October 7 Hamas Holocaust and over 800 men, women, the elderly and young children were massacred, raped, tortured, beaten, beheaded and burned alive, all because they were Jewish.
All toll, 760 Soldiers and 834 civilian lives gone since last Memorial Day.
To all the men and women of the Israeli Defense Forces, that answered the call to arms, at a time of war, that gave life and limb and shed their blood to protect, defend and preserve the Jewish Nation, an incalculable debt to them is owed.

"Comedian Jerry Seinfeld says his visit to Israel last year in the wake of the Hamas massacre was powerful.
In an interview with Bari Weiss for The Free Press, Seinfeld called his visit, which included a trip to the devastated border community of Kibbutz Be’eri and meeting with freed hostages, “the most powerful experience of my life.”
Pressed by Weiss to elaborate, Seinfeld grows visibly emotional and struggles to speak, wiping his eyes before they move on to another topic.

"Nearly every single Jewish holy site in Israel was hundreds and thousands of years later usurped by Arabs and turned into Muslim holy sites, which they now do not want Jews to pray at or visit.
Who are the occupiers?
Who are the colonizers?
Who are the imperialists?
How stupid does one have to be to be blind to the truth?
How willfully ignorant are western anti-Israel activists, especially those who are Jewish?
How can any SANE person on this entire planet say or think that Israel is an illegitimate state with no right to exist?
Like Socrates, I'm just asking the questions; because the answers are glaringly obvious!"

"I swear, you can’t make this stuff up!!
So, for a while, I wanted to share something that I’ve learned, that I am sure very few people are aware of, and that is the perks of studying in Israeli university.
I think we can both agree that U.S. campuses are no longer safe for many people.
Well, I had learned about all these perks, and I wanted to write a post and share them with you, but the thing is, posts generally need some sort of visual with them, if they’re going to get traction.
So, I needed a picture of a student, someone who has experienced these perks. The only issue is, I don’t know one.
So I was sitting on this post wondering where I’d find someone to snap a photo with.
Then this happened!
Five minutes ago, I’m walking in Tel Aviv to my first meeting, and this kind gentleman stops me, and says “Hey, are you Hillel Fuld? “
I responded, “I am indeed, who are you?”
He says, “I’m just a fan.”
I responded, “No, you’re not, what’s your name?”
He tells me his name is Gavin.
“Cool, and what do you do?”
He then tells me that he is studying in Israel as part of a partnership with Columbia university!!!
Jackpot!
Unbelievable.
I told him that I was looking for a picture with a student, and it is mind-boggling to me that he just stopped me.
Here is the picture of me and Gavin.
And now to the topic itself.
Ok, so Israel is awesome. I don’t think I need to convince you of that.
But, Israel is not just a land of ancient history and gorgeous scenery. It is not even only the land of tech. It’s also a hub for innovative education.
Who knew? I’ll admit, I didn’t.
With 61 higher education institutions, including 10 universities and 51 colleges, this country offers a diverse range of programs that cater to every academic interest.
And here’s the best part: If you’re an Oleh Chadash (a new immigrant), you might be eligible for FREE tuition! Yes. Free.
The Israeli government, through the Student Authority under the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, provides a benefits package that could cover your tuition fees.
Nefesh B'Nefesh and the Student Authority are dedicated to helping young Olim achieve their academic dreams in Israel.
Here are some of the things they offer:
- Educational guidance and counseling
- Fully subsidized preparation programs
- Financial aid in the form of scholarships for those who qualify
And… They pay up to standard tuition fees, which means you could be studying your undergraduate program or advancing to a graduate degree for FREE.
Not done.
University preparatory programs are covered, too!
So if you, like all normal people, are shocked and appalled by what’s going on on U.S. campuses, and if you love Israel, but think that getting your degree here is less relevant, check out this link for more info! https://www.nbn.org.il/higher-education/
And thanks Gavin for volunteering to make sure this post reaches far and wide!

"Allow me to teach you something about the Jewish people, and this time, it’s not something positive.
In ancient Egypt, as we know, God performed incredible miracles like the ten plagues. It could not have been more obvious that He wanted us to leave and head to the Land of Israel.
Guess what percentage of the Jews left and what percent stayed in Egypt.
Go ahead, take a guess.
80% stayed!
After 210 years of back-breaking slavery, they had a chance to leave with guaranteed protection from their Creator and 80% stayed.
How. Is. That. Possible?
But it didn’t end there.
Those who left wandered through the desert en route to Israel. Again, non stop miracles. Clouds to protect them, food falling from the sky daily, water coming out of rocks, and so on.
What did the Jewish people do? They complained non stop. They didn’t see God who was right in front of them.
Even after all that God had done for them, they made it to the sea and the Egyptians were catching up behind them. Instead of realizing that God was protecting them, they cried out to Moses asking him what he had done by bringing them to this point, where they were going to die.
How did they think God was going to let them die? He did all those miracles just to let them die on the shore of the sea?
How were they so blind?
It’s hard to understand, right?
Well, hindsight is 20/20, right?
At the time, they didn’t see God. They explained all the plagues and all the miracles as just coincidences and natural occurrences. Now looking back at that, it’s so hard for us to comprehend.
By the way, it’s not only Egypt and the desert. The Jews throughout history always seem to excel at ignoring God and His miracles.
Well, guess what. We’re doing it again…
Open your eyes. How is it possible that you don’t see the miracles?
For starters, before we even talk about this current war, how does this state even exist? How do the Jewish people even exist?
There is absolutely no logical explanation that a nation this tiny has survived when all the empires who tried to annihilate us have fallen.
This country? From day one, it was a miracle.
The UN giving us a state? Um, do I even need to tell you how illogical and supernatural that is? Some say that the UN was created for one reason, and one reason only, to give Israel its independence.
But even after the state was established, war after war, victory after victory, miracles. Non stop miracles.
I mean, find me a military strategist who can explain to me how Israel won the 6 day war. It doesn’t exist. Because it was an absolute miracle. In our war of independence, we fought off all those mighty armies with sticks and stones. We didn’t even have an army!
And then we come to today.
Trigger warning. I am not going to talk about the atrocities but I am going to say something somewhat controversial and even offensive. "
The comment continues
"Let me ask you this.
Imagine I tell you that 3,000 terrorists walked into a country smaller than New Jersey and with access to any automatic weapon you can imagine and hours of free hand, they tried to murder as many people as possible.
What number would you come up with in such a scenario? How many people would they manage to kill?
Six hours of freedom to kill. Think about it.
I’d say 50,000.
Ok, maybe not 50,000. 20,000? At least!
So how is it that they killed 1,400? I’ll tell you how. Because they were savage barbaric animals who couldn’t help themselves.
They even had a plan to go town to town and to basically take this country over. But they didn’t because they had to commit those atrocities.
I would never say that we are lucky they acted that way. That’s a terrible thing to say. But if they hadn’t, many more people on our side would be dead.
As far as I’m concerned, and at the risk of offending someone, thank God they didn’t follow their plan. As far as I’m concerned, that is a miracle, as hard as that is to swallow.
Let’s not forget that all of our holidays started with a terrible tragedy. I mean Purim was near genocide of the Jewish people. Hanukkah? Same. And now we celebrate the miracle.
One day, we will celebrate these miracles too!
But God didn’t stop there. Not even close.
Every single time I hear the words “Empty spaces”, I thank Hashem.
Tens of thousands of rockets and they either fall into Gaza, into empty spaces, into the water, or are taken down by the Iron Dome. "
& lastly says
"Have you stopped to think about that? This tiny country and all those rockets falling into empty spaces? Where are all these empty spaces???
I mean, sure, you can explain it naturally if you want but you can also explain the splitting of the sea naturally…
Every single time the IDF prevents another terrorist attack, I thank Hashem. Miracles!
Don’t misunderstand what I’m saying. I’m not belittling the IDF’s role here but the way I see it, the IDF is the vehicle by which God is performing miracles for us. Just like Moses was God’s messenger, the IDF is God’s vehicle today.
I mean; even the Iron Dome! Yes, we know it’s a technological wonder but seriously, think about what the Iron Done does.
Detonating a rocket flying that thousands of miles an hour mid air with unbelievable precision? How could you not see God’s hand there?!
The Iron Dome is the modern version of the clouds of glory. God has placed a dome over our heads.
The miracles don’t stop, you just need to see them.
I know what you’re thinking.
“God?! How could you see God in this? God is allowing all this tragedy to happen? All these innocent people to die? Our soldiers? The atrocities? Where was God then?”
It’s a great question. I don’t know. I don’t have the answers.
It’s a simplistic analogy but when I bring my kid to the doctor for a shot, he thinks I’m a total psychopath. “Why are you stabbing me with a needle? Are you nuts? What kind of father stabs his own son?!
But as parents, we know we love our kids and that shot, as painful as it is, is for the kid’s own good. The kid will never see that though and in his mind “Stabbing me is bad. My father is doing something bad. There is no good way to spin this…”
I don’t know why God thought we needed this shot but He did. And it hurts. A lot. But somehow it’s for our own good. Somehow, and it seems insane to even say, this horrible war is for the best.
Don’t ask me. I don’t have the answers.
But what I do know is that the modern state of Israel; the survival of the Jewish people; this war and all our wars before it; they were no less miraculous than the splitting of the sea.
But the Jews didn’t see the miracles then and we are not seeing them now. They’re there, we just have our blind folds on.
God has our backs. He will help us, in partnership with the IDF and all of our security forces, win this war, and accomplish our mission.
We of course need to do our part. We need to jump into the sea for it to split but God is here with us in our pain and suffering.
And if you are able to remove your blind fold and see God and His role in this war, then you’ll be able to have peace of mind knowing that He will do what He always does for His children. He will eliminate Hamas and send them to where the ancient Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, and Nazis are, to the pages of history books.
Yes, we are getting that shot right now and it hurts like heck, but remember, after the shot comes strength, after the shot comes health, and after the shot, ultimately what comes is goodness and reasons to celebrate.
Mark my words.
Like we celebrate Passover, Purim, and Hanukkah, one day soon, we will celebrate the holiday of Simchat Torah again, but with a whole new meaning.
We will once again dance with the Torah scrolls but we will celebrate not only our Torah, but our victory over the forces of evil.
We will celebrate our miracles, our survival, and our eternal existence in our home, the Land of Israel in its entirety."

"Well, like with the Rafah operation, Israel will thank him for his advice and respectfully tell him to sit this one out. We are going to war with Lebanon and nothing Biden or any other foreign leader can say will change that.
And when we do, when we do take off the gloves, Hezbollah’s missiles and drones will be obliterated in days. Let’s not forget, we have tanks, we have jets, we have the Iron Dome, we have the Iron Beam, we have unbelievably sophisticated weapons sitting in our arsenals, weapons we haven’t even unboxed and are more lethal than anything the world has ever seen.
After all the damage Hezbollah has caused, and despite the world warning us about this war, we are going to do this and we are going to hit hard and fast. Hezbollah will disappear faster than it can say Allah Akbar.
And one more thing.
Of course you’re depressed and scared. It is that depression and fear that gives the media companies the clicks they so desire. They get paid for clicks. “Everything is going to be ok” is not a title that will get clicks. “The Jews will win again” won’t get them ad revenue"
& continues
"What gets them clicks are videos of fires in the north, articles about how horrible Israel is, and tweets talking about how the underdog, Hamas is defeating Israel. It hooks you in and keeps you reading.
This applies to the algorithms of social media, as well as the editorial teams of legacy media. They depend on your eyeballs and to get your eyeballs, they need to scare you.
So, remember, we are winning and we will continue to win. Hamas is nearing its end, and even now, as they pretend to be all heroic, they hide away in dark tunnels with limited oxygen, knowing every day that it might be their last.
The crazies on campuses also get clicks but represent no one and the world knows it.
Sure, there is real antisemitism, that’s not click bait and that is indeed sad and scary. But the vast majority of normal moral people, despite what CNN might have you believe, stand with Israel.
But honestly, I don’t even care about that. Support us or don’t support us. The UN can do whatever it wants and put us on whatever list it wants (The latest test stunt from the UN is truly laughable. You van’t make this stuff up. If you haven’t seen it, don’t worry. It’s not worth your time to Google it.), South Africa can bring us to whatever clown show of a court it wants and that court can issue whatever ludicrous arrest warrants it wants.
We are done caring. We are doing what we need to do in Rafah and will continue to do so until the last Hamashole is gone. And then comes Lebanon. We are going to hit them where it hurts and it will be a lethal blow. "
& lastly says
"So, it’s ok to be sad and scared. I’d be worried about you if you weren’t sad and scared. War is sad and scary. But don’t let the tweets and fictitious titles confuse you. Israel is stronger than it’s ever been. The people of Israel stand unified behind our mission to bring our hostages back and defeat Hamas. The IDF hasn’t even begun to show what it’s made of.
Every single Hezbollah rocket that leaves Lebanon is simply Hezbollah digging its grave that much deeper.
The end of Hamas is near and the end of Hezbollah is next.
And mark my words, both Hamas and Hezbollah are only the beginning. Just wait till Israel takes care of the head of the snake, Iran. You can expect to see a lot more helicopter crashes in the coming months.
Hamas is terrified, Hezbollah is terrified, and Iran is terrified. As they should be!
We are winning. We will win. And then, as hard as this is to see or to believe now, after all of these monsters are gone, we WILL dance again!
Am Yisrael Chai. Don’t forget it for one second!
And Mr. Nasrallah, stay in your bunker crying because the second you lift your head, that will be the last tear you shed on this planet. You clearly never learned history. Otherwise you’d know what happened to anyone who messed with the Jews. You’ll find out soon.

“I struggle with the fact that I’m an Arab. I was never really proud to be an Arab . When I grew up in Lebanon, I looked up to France as my country more than I looked up to Lebanon. When I left in 1984 to immigrate to Canada I thought that I would likely never go back to Lebanon, and I haven’t. Since I started in the early 1990’s learning the history of Israel, my unease about being Arab has kept growing because I learned all the hateful things that Arabs did to Jews. A few years ago, I visited Israel but I didn’t set foot in Lebanon. I don’t regret it either . I should have been born south of Lebanon. I would still be there and I would be proud of my country”

Probably a lot of Non-Arabs and Self-hating Jews in America, Israel and Worldwide, seeing what many Arabs sadly are and what many Arabs have done are glad and very happy that they aren’t Arab and wouldn’t like to be born Arab

"Allow me to introduce you to the man who held Noa Argamani hostage for eight months.
An Al Jazeera journalist.
Now tell me more about how horrible Israel is for closing AJ’s office in Israel.
And tell me more about how AJ is a legitimate news source.
And tell me more about how Israel killed “innocent journalists.”
And tell me more about how Israel targets innocent civilians.
Every innocent death is a tragedy for Israel and a strategy for Hamas.
This operation was miraculous beyond words and the fact that this man held Noa captive and it’s not the main news piece on every single publication is beyond disgusting.
Every time people quote Gaza casualty numbers, they are quoting the Gaza Health Ministry, which is run by Hamas, a terror organization full of murderers and rapists.
When they speak of innocent women and children, let me remind you that one of those “innocent” Palestinian kids murdered my brother.
Enough with the lies already.
Thousands of them participated in 10/7 and that’s a well documented fact. And these four hostages who Israel heroically rescued were being held in civilian homes belonging to a doctor and a journalist. Right in the middle of a Gaza market.
As the IDF rescued them, they came under massive amounts of fire from Hamas terrorists all hiding within a civilian neighborhood. And that is all you need to know. The rest is propaganda.

"We are not sorry.
We are not sorry that we rescued four innocent Jewish hostages and eliminated the terrorists who were holding them as well as the people who fired at the soldiers during the operation. Anyone else killed there is on Hamas. We are not sorry.
We are not sorry that we are fighting Hamas by any and all means necessary. Don’t come to us when they use Gazans as human shields. We are not sorry.
We are not sorry that we went into Rafah and destroyed endless terror tunnels and eliminated endless terrorists. We are not sorry.
We are not sorry that us Jews can now defend ourselves and we are doing just that. We are not sorry.
We are not sorry that despite not starting this war, we are winning it and will continue to do so. We are not sorry.
We are not sorry that Lebanon is about to pay a very steep price for allowing Hezbollah to attack Israel from its territory. There is a price for supporting terror. We are not sorry.
We are not sorry for attacking terrorists even when they hide in UNRWA schools or behind civilians. That’s their problem, not ours. We are not sorry.
We are not sorry for eliminating a “Journalist” and a “doctor” who held Israeli hostages for 8 months. We are not sorry.
We are not sorry for setting clear objectives to this war, objectives we will achieve: The total obliteration of Hamas and the return of our hostages. We will achieve both and we won’t stop till we do. We are not sorry.
We are not sorry for outright denying the casualty numbers the world likes to quote, when the source for those numbers is Hamas. Hamas murders, rapes, and beheads, but the fact that they lie seems to shock everyone. We are not sorry.
Us Jews? We are done apologizing.
Sorry, not sorry. Not anymore. Not now, not ever.

"A visit to Israel is a totally unique experience. No other country has so much diversity in such a small area – Israel really does have it all. Whilst it only takes six hours to drive from north to south, and, in places, 20 minutes from east to west, Israel is a fantastic travel destination with great diversity developing an international reputation as a cool tourist destination.
From visiting the holy city of Jerusalem, holy to Jews, Christians and Muslims, to visiting the cool, progressive, modern, and lively Mediterranean city of Tel Aviv, less than an hour away, Israel is a land of contrast like no other. There are more museums in Israel per person, than anywhere else in the world, and archaeological sites which date back millenia, but this is only the beginning…
From swimming in the Mediterranean and diving in the Red Sea in Eilat, to skiing in the Golan Heights and floating in the magical waters of the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, Israel is saturated by active persuits to suit all tastes. Israel is criss-crossed by bike trails, hiking routes, and even boasts the world’s first underwater museum in Caesarea where you dive through ancient ruins. How amazing! And take one of the many hundreds of different Israel tours which run to all tastes and all interests and guide you through this incredible land.
And from the relatively barren Negev desert in the south, to the fertile, rolling Tuscan-style hills of the Galilee in the north, this country is full of fascinating and cool places we want everyone to see!
In Israel, archaeological sites from across millennia mingle with skyscrapers and internationally recognized restaurants, cafes and bars, whilst trendy boutique hotels in Israel, top-class spas and a lively nightlife, sit alongside tradition and history."

"I’d say my biggest accomplishment on social media since 10/7 is that I haven’t lost my cool once.
I am genuinely very proud of that.
I’ve drafted hundreds of tweets in response to horrible things people wrote me and I’ve deleted every single one before posting them.
Trust me, it’s not been easy, but I know that name-calling is their tactic, not ours.
And the people who write the horrible stuff that I’m so tempted to respond to are not listening anyway and responding to them emotionally will just let them win by showing them that they got a rise out of me.
Besides, it’s a bad reflection on me if I stoop to their level.
I hope I can keep it up. It’s honestly a daily struggle, it really is.
I’m getting thousands of horrible replies on X every day. Hundreds of DMs. Emails. Messages on FB. The list goes on.
Hundreds of them went into my Wikipedia page every day for weeks and added malicious things. It got so bad that Wikipedia had to lock down my page so only certain types of editors can make changes.
They harass me day and night and not replying is not as easy as it sounds.
Anyway, the more hateful comments they write me, the more names they call me, the more profanity they use, the more everyone realizes their argument has no substance or truth to it.
Think about it.
What kind of comments do you see from the anti Israel crowd? What is their strategy?
To harass Jews online, even if that person has never even stepped foot in Israel.
To declare that Hitler was right and he should have finished us all off.
To support murder, rape, and pedophilia by calling it “resistance”.
To make death threats against Jews and their families.
To ridicule the hostages and their families.
Oh, and of course to claim that the rapes and sexual crimes of Hamas are made up.
You don’t see any of that on the pro-Israel side.
In fact, the very definition of the two sides should tell you all you need to know.
One side is anti Israel. The other side is pro Israel.
No one on the Israel side would call themselves anti Palestinian or call for the total erasure of millions of people like the anti Israel side does.
Bottom line is, this war is not a war between Israel and Hamas or between Jews and Arabs. This war is a war between truth and lies, between good and evil.
There is zero nuance here. It’s black and white.
If you’re not in Israel’s corner in this war, history will forever remember that you chose to side with terrorists who declared their mission as the total annihilation of the Jewish people.
There is only one just side in this war and no amount of disguising antisemitism by labeling it anti Zionism is going to change that.
Israel is fighting the war against radical Islam and anyone in the west should be thanking Israel, but if you don’t want to say thank you, then just sit this one out.
Getting in Israel’s way is not only immoral, it’s also a very bad strategy. Just open a history book and notice what happened to anyone who stood against the Jewish people.
It didn’t end well for them, and it won’t end well for you.
Stand with truth. Stand with justice. Stand with morality. Stand with Israel.

"What’s with distorting Jewish history?
King Solomon is painted as a ‘wise and adored King’ - in reality, anything but. He was a hated ruler who sent 30,000 Jews per year as slave labor to the King of Tyre in exchange of gold to build the Second Temple. The Second Temple was adorned on the back of Jewish slave labor. He was so hated that when his son was set to take over after his death, 10 tribes splintered off and created their own Kingdom, the Kingdom of Israel (Samaria).
Also, Chanukkah over the centuries, specifically after the 1200s, devolved in to the festival of ’lights.’ - In reality, Chanukkah was a 25 year military battle against both the Hellenized Jews and the Seleucid Empire. In fact, the Maccabees fought several Jewish Civil Wars during that time period. Chanukkah celebrates the greatest Zionist military battle period of all time."

"Here are the last three Hezbollah terrorists eliminated by Israel. I love how Hezbollah posts these pictures every time we get another one of them. Like they took some portraits expecting Israel to get to them.
But here’s the thing. This is elimination 346, 347, and 348 in this war.
The intelligence combined with the superb military capabilities needed to eliminate these guys does not get nearly enough attention!
Think about it. Each one of these terrorists knows Israel is coming after them. They take all necessary precautions, and yet, we get to them. Over and over.
Same goes for Hamas terrorists.
If you stop and think about what has to fall into place for the IDF to get even one of these guys, let alone 348 of them, you will begin to understand why they say that the IDF is the best army in the world.
Every time I read about another senior Hamas or Hezbollah terrorist eliminated by Israel, all I can think is, “How on earth does the IDF keep doing this?”
Thank you, Hashem! Thank you, IDF! 🙏💪🇮🇱✡️"

"A lot of people deserve to be in prison… but, it was not just military leadership, it was also the weak Israeli policies for decades regarding Gaza. All Israel had to do was copy and paste what Sisi in Egypt was doing against Gaza.
- No work permits for the mostly Egyptian Gazan occupiers
- Border crossing closed all year except Ramadan
- No silly Egyptian was offering rides to the Arab occupiers in Gaza to hospitals, as Gaza had 36 hospitals
- Strong fortified buffer zone and border walls (multiple).
Sisi destroyed 1200 tunnels years before most Jews even know of tunnels under Gaza going into Egypt. And years later, flooded many with sewage. He also destroyed half of Rafi’ach in 2014 when he took office, after Hamas killed 16 Egyptian soldiers in 2012."

"A document has been released that details Hamas intentions that was in the possession of Israeli intelligence, including 8200 and military, days before 7 October.
Shocking details include the number of hostages to be taken back to Gaza including women and children, and much more information that went without any action or response by neither the military, intelligence, and the political echelon, in Israel.
This will be hotly debated in Israel today and in the days ahead.
The Israeli public, both left and right, demand accountability.
The question, the divide, in Israel is when.
Now, or after we have defeated Hamas?"

"The Arch of Titus is one of the most famous monuments in Rome. It depicts the humiliation of Jewish prisoners after their homeland was ravaged by the Roman Empire in 71 CE. For Europeans, its a symbol of imperial power. For Jews, a symbol of Catastrophe.
In 1948, almost 2000 later, a thousand Holocaust survivors walked through the arch backwards, symbolizing the end of the exile. This is the way."

"How dare your non-indigenous behind call Jews “colonizers” in Israel.
What a clueless, shameless, ahistorical lie, and one that you would never say if it weren’t for antisemitism.
Forget the Torah. The Quran says over and over again that we are indigenous to Judea.
But forget all holy books: the archaeology says so too.
And if we were anyone but Jews, this would be the most brainlessly obvious thing in the world.
An unbroken chain of Judean presence in the land of Judea, despite multiple colonizing attempts by multiple colonizer empires, dating back to before they even identified as Judean. Dating back thousands and thousands of years. Letters carved in stone and on coins from thousands of years ago, that a Jewish child of today can still read, even if they were born in America or Mexico or Russia or Nigeria.
You can find coins from thousands of years ago that talk about resisting imperialists in “Zion.” You still think Zionism in one form or another hasn’t always been a part of who we are?
We have faced Jerusalem as we prayed for thousands of years, through the present day.
How many countries speak English? How do you think that happened? How many speak Arabic? How do you think that happened?
How many speak Hebrew? One, and it’s in the land where the language was born. No other nation on earth has a majority of its inhabitants speaking Hebrew. And it never has.
Can you play “Which of these three is not a colonizer language?” I hope so. You’re not doing so hot if you can’t."

"3. J.H. has a lot to say about Itamar Ben Gvir. I don’t like him either. There are extremists on both sides, but far-right politician Ben-Gvir has been justly excoriated (and will be voted out at some point because Israel is a parliamentory democracy) for trying to stoke religious tensions by encouraging militant Zionists to pray on the Temple Mount — known to Muslims as Al-Aqsa. (Hamas leaders do not get voted out). Although the site of the Temple in Jerusalem was the center of Jewish worship, it’s destruction by Romans in 70 CE forced Judaism to reconfigure. Instead of the ancient rites of sacrificing animals, Jews are enjoined to study Torah. The surviving Western Wall of that 2nd Temple (the first one was destroyed in 586 BCE (before the common era) is still considered a holy site to Jews, and praying at that Wall is an ancient custom that goes back many centuries before the advent of Islam. Jew-Haters cannot lie our history away no matter how many followers they have!
4. J.H. writes, “Israel is so fake that Zionists artificially resurrected a dead language in order for its people to have a common “native” tongue for them to speak, so that they could all LARP (live action roleplay) as indigenous middle easterners together in their phony, synthetic country.”
This false statement is another attempt at delegitimization of Jews and Israel. The Torah is written in Hebrew, the Talmud is in Hebrew and Aramaic, the language of scholars and academics was always Hebrew, and the language of our prayers has been Hebrew for several thousand years. Bringing the language back to life along with the state of Israel should be considered a miracle for all indigenous peoples who were attacked, destroyed, or scattered from their lands. Are there any other people whose cultural background is up for reinvention by a bunch of ignorant youngsters? Does J.H. have some new stories about American Indians? Australian Aboriginals? African Americans? Who else is a target for her venom? What starts with the Jews doesn’t end with the Jews."
& continues
"5. J.H. claims that “Israel has no real culture of its own; it’s all a mixture of (A) organic Jewish culture brought in from other parts of the world by the Jewish diaspora, (B) culture that was stolen from Palestinians (see “Israeli food”), and
the culture of indoctrinated genocidal hatred that is interwoven with the fabric of modern Zionism. The way Israel has become a Mecca of electronic dance music points clearly to an aching cultural void that its people are trying desperately to fill with empty synthetic pop fluff.”
Although I dislike electronic dance music and agree about the synthetic pop fluff , Israel is a democracy! Those kids won’t be beheaded for listening to music that the leaders don’t like. Also, Israeli food is a mix of European, Middle Eastern, and African recipes and customs that Jews brought from those countries from which they either escaped or were expelled. The culture is a mix of similar elements; for example, Jews lived in Iraq since the first expulsion from Israel in 586 BCE — thousands of years later in 1948, when they were expelled from Iraq with nothing but the shirts on their backs, Jews brought their traditions with them. When they make tahini, they are not trying to copy anyone except their own great grandmothers, going back generations!
6. J.H. says, “Even international support for Israel is fake, manufactured astroturf that has to be enforced from the top down, because it would never organically occur to anyone that Israel is something that should be supported.”
What J.H. and her followers don’t understand (perhaps because they do not know what the world learned from the Holocaust - it wasn’t just 6 million Jews who died because of Nazi hatred — 50 to 85 MILLION people died. As I’ve already mentioned, what starts with the Jews does not end with the Jews. The Jew- haters of today need to learn more about real history to understand why the democratic, free world supports Israel. The autocratic, communist, and Jihadi world seems to prefer genocidal terrorists.
Isn’t all this hate getting boring?"
& continues
"7. J.H. says, “The influential Israel lobby is used to push pro-Israel foreign policy in powerful western governments like Washington and London.
Like many Jew haters before her, J.H. is very upset about AIPAC — which provides U.S. lawmakers with a fact-based education about what is happening in Israel and the Middle East. U.S. lawmakers also learn about what is happening in the anti-democratic world of Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea, and the world of Islamist terror groups like Isis, Al Qaeda, and Hezbollah. Since the anti-freedom/anti-democracy and other groups do a lot of lying and propaganda, and don’t seem to care much about the freedoms we value in the United States, lawmakers can’t count on their information.
8. J.H. shows her true colors in this gem: “The Israel lobby exists with the full consent of the western imperial war machine and its secretive intelligence cartel, because western military support for Israel is also phony and fraudulent. The western empire whose strategic interests directly benefit from violence and radicalism in the middle east pretends it’s constantly expanding its military presence in the region in order to promote stability and protect an important ally, but in reality this military presence simply allows for greater control over crucial resource-rich territories whose populations would otherwise unite to form a powerful bloc acting in their own interests. The Israel lobby is a self-funding consent manufacturer which helps the empire do what it already wants to do.”
So, what we learn here is that J.H. doesn’t only hate Jews and Israel — she loathes and opposes the United States of America.
Is J.H. hoping for the overthrow of both Israel and the U.S.? Those are also Hizbollah and Hamas’s goals, along with their SUGAR DADDY, Iran.
Good thing this is a free country, and J.H. can say whatever she wants. I wonder if she’d prefer to wear a burka, live in one of the jihadi-run countries, stay at home unless a male relative accompanies her, and give up all of her freedom. If she stays in the west, she can still write nasty essays about democracies that annoy her, but if she moves to, say, Syria, she can live her dream."
& continues
"9. J.H. goes on to excoriate the media (as if the media is biased towards Israel), celebrities (as if everything Roger Waters and the Hadad sisters say is fine, but anyone who supports Israel is faking it). She mentions the “western empire” which seem to bother her because of “wealthy people whose wealth is premised upon the imperial status quo.”
10. J.H. says, “For years Israel has been pioneering the use of social media trolls to swarm Israel’s critics and promote agendas like undermining the BDS movement. After the beginning of the Gaza onslaught Israel spent millions on PR spin via advertising on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, and The New York Times has just confirmed earlier reports that Israel has been targeting US lawmakers with fake social media accounts to influence their policymaking on Israel.”
She uses lots of links to mostly kooky sources — let’s look at AP NEWS or Reuters about the fake Palestinian stories of death and destruction, the pictures of supposed corpses checking their phones, the anti-Israel vitriol, the inflated numbers of dead, and the continuing fake stories of malnutrition and starving in Gaza."
& lastly says
"11. J.H. says, “In truth, nobody really organically supports Israel.”
Yeah, they do. They support Israel because it is the only democracy in the Middle East, because it shares liberal values, women have autonomy, it is the only country in the Middle East where it’s safe to be homosexual, and let’s not forget the huge number Israeli innovations in science, technology, agriculture, medical research, and a huge list of other disciplines. I don’t think J.H. spoke to a single Arab citizen of Israel; the doctors, lawyers, scholars, writers, or politicians who are grateful to live in a democracy (although Israel has work to do about making its Arab population more comfortable).
12. J.H. writes that, “Israel is not a country, it’s like a fake movie set version of a country.” That would be like me saying that you are not a person, J.H., but a fake movie version of an evil person, and you get to decide, no matter where you live, about who gets to live and who gets to be slaughtered by barbarous terrorists who want all the land of Israel to be Jew-free. You might not be a thinking person at all — you could be getting paid to spread these lies.
J.H. might be a real person, or she might be a BOT, but it doesn’t matter. Even Bots can absorb facts about the Middle East and its history. But it takees a human to know about hate."

“Whenever anyone tells u the BS “Israel’s settlements r illegal,” ask them what law makes them illegal? The governing law is actually UN Resolutions 242 & 338 which talks about “w/drawal from territories,” not “THE territories.” Drafter Eugene V. Rostow said this means that these lands & what even constitutes “territories” would b negotiated in future by the parties. Further, in order for Israel to have to wdraw from territories, all parties (incl all Muslim/Arab nations) would have to terminate all claims or states of belligerency against Israel, recognize State of Israel & its “right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force.” None of that has happened. The settlements are PERFECTLY LEGAL.”

"What preparations were made by Hamas to protect the citizens of Gaza, prior to starting the war with Israel on 10/7/2023? NOTHING
Funding for Gaza:
Gaza, which 2 million people inhabit... has/had 36 hospitals.
Gaza was receiving free water, electricity, gas, and fuel from Israel.
Gaza was receiving $30 million per month from Qatar.
One hundred twenty million dollars per month from UNRWA.
Fifty million dollars per month from the European Union.
Thirty million dollars a month from America.
The Palestine Authority spends $350 million every year on payments to Palestinians imprisoned for any reason by Israel on a sliding scale based on time in prison. This means that the EU, the UN, and other Western donors are paying people for having killed, bombed, and terrorized Jews, known as “Pay for Slay.”
What Hamas spent on protecting the people of Gaza:
$0 for defensive weapons development.
$0 on public bomb shelters.
$0 on coordinating the evacuation or protection of civilians during war.
$0 on stockpiling food and other resources in case of war (even when Hamas knows a war is about to start)
What Israel Spends on Protecting the Israeli People:
$3 billion – the cost of the Iron Dome missile defense system to date
$2 billion – the cost of the development of Iron Beam and similar defense systems
$250 million – the rough total cost of the interceptor missiles fired (at $40,000 a pop) to take down Hamas rockets that were on route to Israeli cities in this round of the conflict alone
$200 million – the rough total cost of the over 9,000 public bomb shelters in Israel
$200 million/year – the cost of running the Homefront Command, which is responsible for civilian welfare during war"

"THE LIES GOVERNMENTS TELL. - ISRAEL AND SETTLEMENTS
LET'S BE HONEST. THERE IS NO OCCUPATION BY ISRAEL. THERE ARE NO OCCUPIED TERRITORIES. Israeli villages, farms and towns in Judea and Samaria are not in violation of International Law.
Israel’s control of Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) IS LEGAL UNDER INTERNATIONA LAW AND THOSE THAT DISPUTE THIS ARE EITHER IGNORANT OR LYING.
IN FACT, I CHALLENGE ANY OF THEM TO PROVE, UNSING THE UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED AND SIGNED DOCUMENTRS THAT DEFINE INTERNATIONAL LAW, TO PROVE I AM WRONG.
POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND ANTISEMITIC MOTIVES DO NOT MAKE INTERNATIONAL LAW
So, let’s make some historical facts very clear.
In all the pre-World War II International Conferences, International Agreements (The last binding international agreement on the issue was signed at San Remo in the early 1920’s and designated all of the entire area West of the Jordan River to be a Jewish Homeland. Winston Churchill, in the British Parliament, proposed that all of that area be recognized as a Jewish State, with a population exchange moving Arabs eastward to Trans-Jordan.
The only other document meant to draw lines in the area was the Partition Plan which was rejected by the Arab side and therefore null and void.
So, in 1949, when the War of Independence ended, Jordan occupied territory and East Jerusalem, expelled Jews, expropriated Jewish property and gave it to its supporters, and systematically destroyed any Jewish presence on land that it occupied. BUT JORDAN’S OCCUPATION WAS NEVER RECOGNIZED DE JURE BY ANY OTHER NATION THAN EGYPT AND PAKISTAN, not even by the other Arab states.
In fact, in the 1949 Armistice Agreement, Jordan was recognized as a caretaker of those areas it occupied but never recognbized as a soveriegn part of the Jordanian State The Arimstise was to extend until either a change in circumstances or a peace treatry at which time Jordan would withdraw and responsibility, which is exactly what happened.
In June 1967, Jordan’s occupation came to an end. Israel regained de jure control and sovereign ownership of all the land promised by all those International Conferences.
THOSE THAT OPPOSE ISRAEL USE THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS TO SUPPORT THEIR ARGUMENT — WHICH SIMPLY DEMONSTRATES THAT THEY HAVE NOT READ THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS.
You see, the Geneva Conventions I-V. Specify that Land taken by one sovereign nation from another sovereign nation by war cannot be annexed by the victor nor can the now occupying power deport the population of that territory nor move its own population into that territory. On the basis of that rule, the UN, the EU, and the Current US Administration say settlements by Jews are illegal. But, the Settlements are not illegal and here is why.
THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS DO NOT APPLY TO JUDEA AND SAMARIA.
Why not?” Because the so-called West Bank was never a sovereign part of Jordan. Under the Armistice Agreement of 1949, that territory remained part of the Jewish Homeland and reverted as such with the 1967 war.
And therefore moving Jews into those territories is LEGAL, and technically, deporting a hostile population from that territory would also be legal under the precedent set by Poland’s expulsion of Germans from areas that became Polish after WWII, on the grounds of Germans being seen as a threat to Polish culture and security.
So, let's stop playing games and calling what is legal, or illegal, for political purposes of pandering to those who want to ignore morality and twist facts to fit their political or commercial agendas."

"ARE YOU A BDS-ER OR A BS-ER?
Boycotting Israel and Jews has become a hobby for those folks driven by deep-seated prejudices, envy, and political biases. But let us take a step back and understand what this would really mean. Imagine a world without the innovations and contributions from Jews and Israel.
Here are but a few examples of things founded by Jewish and Israeli innovation: Google, Facebook, Waze, Instagram, Netflix, TV remotes, cardiac defibrillator, camera phone, aspirin, the laser, stainless-steel, gas-powered automobiles, genetic engineering, the Segway, sewing machines, Prozac, Valium, USB flash drives, smart cards, anti-biotics, cell phones, nuclear submarines, the UZI, and the all-time favorite, The Pill.
Take a breath… And many computers you use are powered by Intel chips designed in Israel. Also, ReWalk exoskeleton that allows paraplegics to walk again, was an Israeli invention. Of course, let us not forget the Jew, Jonas Salk, whose vaccine saved millions from suffering the cripplingly disease of Polio. BTW, he altruistically gave his vaccine to the world free of charge.
So, if you are a true BDS-er and not a BS-er you would boycott all the above."

"Why saying ‘state’ to refer to Israel is antisemitic… it hearkens back to the very antisemitic UN Resolution 181 (the 1947 Partition Plan). The British led an antisemitic coalition at the UN to steal even more land from Jews of the 22% of our homeland that by then had remained.
The goal was to create, in their words, an Arab ‘state’ – though one existed already since 1922, created from 78% of stolen Jewish land, Jordan, and a Jewish ’state.’
Luckily the Arabs said no and the Resolution did not pass. Hence, the UN did not ‘create’ Israel.
What happened in 1948 is that brave Jews, after nearly 20 years of armed struggle, liberated Israel. Israel was not created in 1948 or 1947. Israel was formed as a nation well over 4,000 years ago. Jews literally emerged from the Semitic tribes in Israel and formed a nation. Jews then conquered several other Semitic tribes (Moabites, Edomites, and Idumeans) and absorbed them into their Judean culture.
Also, throughout the 1,812 years of occupation, there were robust Jewish communities and Jewish institutions in Israel.
Saying Israel, falsely, is a ’state’ diminishes its sovereignty as a country and thus Israel is oftentimes treated as a vassal state by the U.S and others. In reality, states are created (like Jordan) and/or are part of consortiums like the European countries forming ‘states’ of the EU or 7 different Kingdoms coming together to form the ‘states’ of the UAE.
Another example of a state that was created was Lebanon. In 1920, the State of Lebanon was created as a country for persecuted Arab Christians. When these Christians allowed former Israeli-Arabs to flood their state, their state devolved and allowed for Hezbollah to take over and use a proud Christian state as a terrorism base camp against both Israel and its own original population of Christians. When the Christians attempted to fight back against the Islamic oppressors, the world labeled the Christians, ‘terrorists’ and ‘oppressors’ as the ignorant have and continue to do against Jews when Jews fight back.
No more saying ‘State of Israel.’ It is a country and a proud sovereign"

“If you don’t believe in and stand for something, you stand for nothing.” So here is my brain dump of what I feel is happening around us: Israel represents the beginning. It’s the heartbeat of Judeo-Christian faith and values, not just the Jewish faith. Over the months I’ve taken everything that’s been said and done and seen that destroying Israel and the Jewish people isn’t just about Jews. It’s not a case of “first Saturday then Sunday”. If one destroys “Saturday” they destroy Sunday simultaneously. It’s about the destruction of G-d, our G-d, to replace him with theirs. Israel represents the temple. Jews are the foundation of many faiths, not just Judaism. And if you destroy the foundation, you destroy the body. Jews aren’t great in numbers. But Christians are. If you destroy Jews and our faith, you destroy everything created by it… Like a tree. You don’t kill a tree by cutting its branches. But if you destroy the roots, you destroy the tree. Destroy Judaism and replace it, and everything else it stood for is destroyed. That’s why so many of the Islamists have made statements such as “Jesus was a Muslim”. It’s not merely stupidity. He represents the bond that is both Judaism and Christianity. And the western world has for a long time been turning away from G-d, by design. I’m not a religious person at all. But I understand the need for faith. And when you destroy the very fabric and construct of human faith, you destroy the person. You weaken them. If one takes science for example… I believe science is very important. It’s real and often provides evidence for so many things. But it in many cases gives man the power of G-d. It has given us the power of creation, but also of destruction. We now can save a life, or take it, and more recently, we can change it and modify it outside of what nature itself intended. Put that power in the wrong hands and you have carnage. So some people have started to replace G-d with science because many feel they no longer need G-d since they believe they have his power. They see science as evidence that G-d doesn’t exist, and have turned away from faith. When you don’t believe in and stand for something, you stand for nothing. It doesn’t matter if you are religious or not. What religion such as Judaism or Christianity or Hinduism has given us is morality. It gave us “G-d’s laws” that allowed us to know right from wrong. Take that away, and our moral compass disappears and morality becomes whatever the individual chooses it to be. And hence we get anarchy, chaos, hatred, raw uncontrollable violence. The rule of law becomes for the one and not for the many. And our tolerance and empathy has opened up nothing more than Pandora’s Box of utter chaos, because we are not gods, and we don’t have the ability or deep understanding of how to control that power and responsibility. The left want everyone to have that power without even thinking if we should or are able to control and handle it. We aren’t mature enough to be free of it. It corrupts even the best of us. And we see in front of our eyes the result of our insanity, our arrogance , our God Complex, and our stupidity. Control is necessary however much we want to break free of it because without it we will only end up destroying ourselves. And the evidence of that is right in front of our eyes."

FACTS
Documentary Evidence Debunks Palestinian Claims of Stolen Land
Following atrocities committed by Arabs on Jews in Palestine during the late 1920's , HM Government commissioned a report by Sir John Hope Simpson which was produced in 1930 . The Arab riots were instigated by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem , a title conferred on this future Nazi collaborator by the British who needed an Arab point of liaison during their administration of Palestine . The Report concentrated on immigration to Palestine and the effects on the people , land and economy .
The current narrative portrayed by the pro Palestinian industry is that colonial Jews stole the land from indigenous Palestinians and thereafter ethnically cleansed them to facilitate further Jewish expansionism . I have been challenging this mythology for years in numerous articles and interviews and the Hope Simpson Report , a masterpiece of British administrative , documented eloquence totally supports my understanding . This report when read in conjunction with the Peel Report of 1937 and perhaps the Middle East Diaries ( 1917 - 1956 ) of Colonel Meinertzhagen , British Middle East Military Advisor and Senior Government Diplomat will totally debunk the last fifty years of Palestinian revisionism and propaganda alluding to ' stolen Palestinian land . '
There is total endorsement , ratification and confirmation within the Reports that all land had been legally acquired by Zionists , Jews or Jewish from both Arab and non Arab owners . This truth has been distorted over decades and lies about Jews stealing Palestinian land are now believed by the majority .
Furthermore the narrative pertaining to immigration has followed similar revisionism and ignores mass Arab immigration .The documented evidence alluding to immigration confirms that not only was there Jewish immigration but uncontrolled Arab immigration as a direct result of the economic benefits created by the Zionist inflow .
The advantages of Jewish immigration were not just limited to economic benefits either. There are continuous references to healthcare , employment , educational and agricultural improvements throughout the Hope Simpson report assisting both Arab and Jewish populations . There are no references to the collective term Palestinian to identify a particular group of beneficiaries . The term Palestinian describing such a collective is non existent .
The ' stolen land ' accusation was and is a public relations slogan running parallel with the origination of the Palestinian identity which started during the early 1960's. Until that time the Arab Executive in both the Hope Simpson and Peel Report testified that all land transferred either to Jewish individuals , Jewish organisations and / or collectives had been legally purchased . No land had been stolen by Jews from Arabs or non Arab owners . The Grand Mufti testifying before Sir Laurie Hammond during the Peel Commission report stated this several times under oath reconfirming all that Hope Simpson had established after forensic examination of legal documentation and numerous meetings with the Arab Executive during his comprehensive study . The accusation of Jews , Israelis or Zionists stealing land is a lie , a myth , an absolute fabrication of the truth .
The Hajj Mohammed Effendi Amin el-Husseini ( 1895 -1974 ) the Grand Mufti , during his interview to the Peel Commission on January 12 1937 is historically documented . Both he and various other leaders of the Arab High Committee testified that no land had been stolen . Prior to the discussion below was a debate between the Grand Mufti and Sir Laurie Hammond regarding the area , cost and type of land purchased "
The comment continues
"Grand Mufti - '' In one case they sold about 400,000 dunams in one lot.''
Sir Laurie Hammond - '' Who, an Arab ? ''
Grand Mufti - '' Sarsuk. An Arab of Beyrouth.''
Sir Laurie Hammond - '' His Eminence gave us a picture of Arabs being evicted from their land and villages being wiped out . What I want to know is , did the Government of Palestine , the Administration , acquire the land and then hand it over to the Jews? ''
Grand Mufti - '' In most cases the land was acquired .''
Sir Laurie Hammond - '' I mean forcibly acquired - compulsory acquisition as land would be acquired for public purposes?''
Grand Mufti - '' No it wasn't .''
Sir Laurie Hammond - '' Not taken by compulsory acquisition ?''
Grand Mufti - '' No . ''
Sir Laurie Hammond - '' But these lands amounting to some 700,000 dunams were actually sold ? ''
Grand Mufti - '' Yes they were sold , but the country was placed in such conditions as would facilitate such purchases .''
Sir Laurie Hammond - '' I don't quite understand what do you mean by that . They were sold . Who sold them?''
Grand Mufti - '' Land owners.''
Sir Laurie Hammond - '' Arabs?''
Grand Mufti - ''In most cases they were Arabs.''
The interview continues and it is obvious that absentee Arab and non Arab landlords forced the peasant farmers off the land in order to sell to the Jewish and Zionist buyers at highly inflated prices . Those same peasant farmers and Arab immigrants then found employment on the lands that had legally changed ownership.
The myth of Jews and Zionists forcibly evicting any farmers from their land is totally exposed for the false narrative that it is , paradoxically by the most anti Zionist Arab leader in history .
Chapter 3 records the 1922 and 1930 population census of Palestine and is telling in that nowhere even within the Glossary are Palestinians recorded as a collective . Mohammedans , Jews , Christians and Others but no Palestinians as they had not yet been invented as a people , race , nation , tribe or culture . The total population between 1922 and 1930 increased from 654,000 to 940,000 due to significant migration from Syria , Transjordan and Egypt and also takes account of increasing numbers of Felahin - peasant farmers, who migrated into the area from the beginning of the 1922 Mandate for Palestine . The itinerant Bedouin population of 130,000 is also accounted for within the census."
& continues
"Chapter 5 of the report concentrates on land purchases and there are numerous telling paragraphs which again totally debunk the myth of Jews stealing land as per page 52 .
''The Jewish authorities have nothing with which to reproach themselves in this matter of the land . They paid high prices for the land and in addition they paid to certain of the occupants of their lands a considerable amount of money which they were not legally bound to pay.''
The sub heading The Effect of the Jewish Settlement on the Arab records thus -
''....there can be no doubt that the Arab has profited largely by the installation of the ( Jewish ) colonies . Relations between the colonists and their Arab neighbours were excellent .''
Pages 78 - 81 describe the benefits to all of the Jewish population increase . Their competencies on agricultural development , irrigation , health and education advantaged the total population and not just the new Zionist immigrants .
The feature of cooperatives brought by the Eastern European Jews were completely new to the Arab and were of huge benefits in increasing food production . Since the first purchases of land in 1882 no less than 249 cooperatives had been established.
So successful was crop production that from a base of zero , sufficient was being produced not only to feed the local population but indeed exports were now competing with both Syrian and Egyptian exports ( page 100 )."
& continues
"Chapter 10 of the Report concentrates on immigration , both Arab and Jewish . Regarding Jewish immigration there can be no doubt that it was triggered by anti Jewish pogroms in various countries . For example the report describes the antisemitic excesses in Romania and in Yemen where the '' Jewish community dates back to pre Islamic times , there was a decree that all Jewish orphans must convert to Islam '' . In Russia the report describes how Jews had '' been singled out for religious and savage persecution .''
Arab immigration was as a direct result of economic advantages brought about by Zionism . There are numerous documented explanations and I shall cite a few examples to emphasise the point.
Jacob de Haas in his History of Palestine The Last Two Thousand Years , published in 1934, wrote
'' In 1860 entire Algerian tribes immigrated en masse to Safed . The Muslims of Safed are descended from these Moorish settlers and from Kurds that came earlier to the area .''
The British Consul James Finn in the late 19th century wrote -
'' I learn of the arrival of thousands of the Beni Sukhr Arabs at Tiberias who are very seldom seen this side of the Jordan .''
The 1911 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica on immigration stated -
'' There are very large contingents from the Mediterranean countries especially Armenia , Greece , and Italy. Turkmen settlers , a fairly large Afghan colony, Motiwala ( Pakistan ) , immigrants from Persia , tribes of Kurds , a Russian colony , Circassian settlements , a large Algerian element , Sudanese.''
Tewlik Bey el Houran the Governor of Hauran Province in Southwest Syria complained in an interview with La Syne a French Syrian publication on August 12 1934 -
''...in the last few months as many as thirty six thousand Syrians had entered and settled in Palestine.''
The Palestine Royal Commission Report London 1937 reads -
'' This illegal Arab immigration was not only going on from the Sinai but also Trans Jordan and Syria and it is very difficult to make a case for the misery of the Arabs if at the same time they could not be kept from going in to share that misery .''
Colonel Richard Meinerthagen diary October 1945, page 199,
'' One hears a lot about Jewish immigration into Palestine. One hears little of the unrestricted Arab immigration into Palestine . There has been a steady flow into Palestine attracted by Jewish prosperity .''
Significantly a quote from Winston Churchill in the House of Commons May 23 1939 defines the situation so clearly -
'' So far from being persecuted the Arabs have crowded into the country and multiplied until their population has increased more than all world Jewry could lift up the Jewish population .''
Regarding the Arab leaders attempts to create division for political gain the unemployment issue was at the forefront of their false narrative.
Page 136 ...''attempts will be made ( by the Arab Executive ) to swell the lists of the Arab unemployed with names that should not be there or perhaps to ensure the registration of an unemployed Arab in the books of more than one exchange .''
Page 139 of the report show the monthly population statistics for 1930 provided by the Palestine Immigration Department and the monthly peak was 3900 unemployed , 1300 Jews and 2600 Arab . The report states
'' ....widely believed and commonly alleged among Arab leaders that Arab unemployment is due to Jewish immigration.....there is no basis for this belief. Jewish development has meant more work for Arabs...''
& lastly says
"The Report is a fascinating document detailing the impact of Jewish immigration into the area. Running parallel with such immigration was non Jewish immigration as a direct benefit brought about by the agricultural competencies of the Zionists .
Similar to the subsequent Peel Report of 1937 the truth which will make unpalatable reading for the pro Palestine anti Israel industry is obvious and runs counter to current pro Palestinian propaganda .
No land was stolen by the Zionists but all was legally purchased . The Arab population benefited so much from Zionist knowledge that Arab immigration was twice that of Jewish immigration . And lastly and most significantly that no people, race, tribe nation or culture known as the Palestinians had yet been discovered."

"Our hostages and God's promise.
In Isaiah 42:6-7, God revealed His character in this declaration to Israel: “I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.”
May God's promise be revealed soon, for their suffering, Israel's suffering, at the hands of our enemy is too great to bear.

"It was always the Jews’ land❗️Did you ever paid attention to the lyrics of the song ‘By the rivers of Babylon’ by Boney M❓
The song is based on the Biblical Psalm 19 and Psalm 137:1–4, a hymn expressing the lamentations of the Jewish people in exile following the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem in 586 BC. Enjoy this great oldie.
Lyrics:
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Requiering of us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land
Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

"Israel 🇮🇱 the small country in Blue is the Jewish nation that G-D ordained thousands of years ago.
In 1948 the Jewish nation ✡️ Israel was reborn according to G-D's divine intercession and his sovereignty.
This great miracle of Israel's rebirth occurred in May 1948 three years after the Holocaust. Out of the ashes of the Shoah, the Jewish people rose up, rebuilt and once again lived in their ancestral homeland.
Today this small country is under constant attack, from murderous Islamists surrounding Israel and from the murderous Islamists within the Jewish nation.
Either you are standing with Israel or your are standing with the enemies G-D and humanity.

"Today is a good day to remind 100% proof that Jews are indigenous to Israel.
In 70 CE, Romans destroyed the Jewish temple and banned the Jews from Jerusalem. That's one of the disasters Jews commemorate today on Tisha B'Av annual fast.
This proof is literally carved in stone. Frieze on the Arch of Titus in Rome depicts Roman soldiers carrying the loot from the Jewish temple. Look at the Menorah. Jews still use the same symbols.
So what is "Palestine"? Roman Emperor Hadrian renamed the land (Judea) to "Palestine", to erase connection with the Jews.
Muslim identity and religion was created more than 500 years later (in 600 CE). And Muslims started calling themselves "Palestinians" only much much later.
There is absolutely no way to twist history so that Palestinians appear before Jews. But it doesn't stop some people from trying...
Dear reader of this post, do you think real history matters? Or you are OK with the fact, that some people try to replace history with fantasies? Do you want your kids to learn what really happened (and what has archeological proofs) or some fairytales that are based on nothing?"

"Israel is trying ( and succeeding) to free hostages taken by Palestinians who started a war by massacring 1.200 + innocent people at a music festival. Jews were the primary target, but many others, like this NON JEWISH, Arab farmer were swept away in the attack.
The uniqueness and greatness of Israel is this. Risking Israeli soldiers to rescue an ARAB Bedouin-b/c he is also Israeli despite his religion and ethnicity."

God`s concern for us is that we win lost souls throughout the world. Isn`t God concerned with the nations? "All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity." (Isaiah 40:17) There`s only one that matters to Him. That nation is Israel. Remember, when Jesus Christ returns He`ll reign in Jerusalem as the King of the Jews."

"Here's a bit of history for those willing to remove the blinders of antisemitism and anti-Israel hate.
There was no “Arab” presence in the Levant until the 600s; at which point, culturally Jewish people (of Canaanite genetic extraction) had lived there, for at least 2,000 years previously, and continued to live there, to the present day — long after all the other cultural nations that were their ancient contemporaries — the Edomites, the Moabites, the Amalekites; the Hittites, Jebusites, and others of the “7 Canaanite nations;” the Greek-derived Philistines to the south, and the fellow-Canaanite Phoenicians to the north; the pharaonic Egyptians; the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, and Babylonians of Mesopotamia; and all the other indigenous cultures of the region had long since gone extinct, survived only by their ruins and their literature and history.
Only the Jews have, for the past 3,500 years, maintained a culture that traces directly back to the time of its ancient founding and has had a constant cultural presence in the Holy Land. That’s simply the truth; every other culture is a latecomer, even if the people who had adhered to the earlier cultures did not physically die out, but passed along their genes to people who had adopted the invading Arab culture.
And, no one can seriously deny that the size of the Arabic-speaking population in Mandatory Palestine grew tremendously through immigration from surrounding Arab lands, beginning AFTER Zionism began in the late 19th century, bringing prosperity and new opportunity to their region for the first time ever in the last 1800 years?
