So, “From the River to the Sea”, is now universally recognised as a call to create a Palestinian state. It is chanted at the marches where most do not even know which river or which sea they are chanting about, just that that is the area where they think and even violently demand the state of Palestine should be established.
No regard is given to the 6-7 million Jews that live in that area or the Christians and Druze or the Arabs who are terrified to live under an autocratic regime. The PA leader has consistently declared that no Jew, with their filthy feet, will be allowed into the newly formed Palestinian state of their dreams.
Their more extreme brethren Hamas who have intentionally led over 2 million people to total disaster would be partners and more than likely the rulers in this new country, which would just add one more Muslim country to the existing 57 and destroy the only Jewish Nation.
Any sane person would like to presume they do not intend to murder the unwanted Jews if this eventual state comes into fruition, but as they are marching with the flag of those who have been regularly and happily murdering Jews and vow to annihilate the Jewish State, either they are totally stupid or they do in fact support genocide.
While this may leave you scratching your head, try making sense of Gays for Palestine, as it not a very well kept secret that in Gaza gays are thrown from high buildings and homosexuality is abhorred but child marriage is acceptable. Women’s rights and equality has not made its way into these patriarchal societies where honour killings are still common and executions are carried out in public.
The very people who are marching and screaming against murder and genocide do so in the name of those who openly and proudly commit murder and worse, and make solemn vows to rid the area of the Jews, which in itself is a pledge of genocide.
It’s past time that western governments stopped viewing these marches as anti war demonstrations, but called them out for the hate marches they really are. They should ban them and arrest the organisers. This has crossed a red line and is not free speech but an anti semitic display of hatred.
The new symbol that reared its head at the Oscars is the red hand pin. Do those wearing it actually know its origins and what it symbolise?
Back in 2000, two Israelis took a wrong (which turned out to be their last ) accidental turn into Palestinian controlled territory, where an angry mob lynched them in a Police Station. The sight of their bloodied red hands against the windows before they were disemboweled on the floor is the inspiration for the new red pin that Hollywood so proudly wore on their lapels at the Oscars.
So while the do-gooders march in support of murder, lynching, rape, burning of children alive, beheading and for another holocaust, Israel continues in the fight to ensure that Hamas can never again harm Israeli children.
This is, and always has been a war for the continued existence of the Jewish State, If the war is not won, then Hamas will regroup and continue with their plan for the destruction of the Jewish Nation. They do not deny their intentions and yet millions support them.
We witnessed millions of Germans supporting the Nazis, and it does seem that not much has changed as humanity can still very quickly start to demonise the other and then not only call for their death and destruction but become an active part in the machinery and propaganda that facilitates the hunting down and terrorising of a group. In Paris, we have heard first hand stories of Jewish families being attacked at home by delivery drivers who identified them by the mezuzah on their door.
In Israel, despite the terrible hardship the war is causing to virtually every family, resolve remains high and no one is free until all the hostages both dead and alive are returned to Israel. The atmosphere is one of quiet solidarity and support of each other, while gathering to protest that more is not being done to free the hostages.
Unofficially it is thought that up to 59 hostages have perished at the hands of their captives, and the negotiators Qatar, say “we are far from an agreement on any release”. 134 remain in captivity and their condition and whereabouts remains unknown.
We are all very distressed to see the casualties and the suffering of the Gazan children, but the war can end in one day with the return of the hostages and the surrender of Hamas. The fate of these children lies totally in the hands of Hamas, who adamantly refuse to return the hostages or even give the Red Cross access to them.
In the West people are only exposed to western news channels who take their news from Hamas officials, and do not see or hear the Arab news in Arabic, which tells of the pride that the Gazans are feeling having successfully forced Israel into this war and the pride and joy Mothers feel when their children are killed as martyrs. The Arab media reports that Israel is close to defeat and they are on the way to victory. https://youtu.be/svIa02N6JUo?si=UfYpVJMgW8b-XXhw
Israel has struck many targets deep into Lebanon, including weapon storage facilities. Communities in the north are being warned of further attacks from Hezbollah and portable shelters are being erected in Haifa.
Hundreds of rockets are fired daily into Israel . Barrages of kaytusha rockets have been fired at Rosh HaNikra, Betzek, Hanita,Metzuba, Shloshim, Zarit, Shomera, Arab al Aramshe, Ga’aton,kill, shtula,Netua, and many other areas near the border.
Suicide drones and anti tank missiles are reported from Lebanon. A large number of rockets are being fired daily into Israel by Hezbollah. Over 100 were launched yesterday and today and the fire is increasing.
For the second time this week Iraq launched rockets at Israel. The first was shot down by Syria as they thought it was aimed at them, and the second hit the city of Arbad in Jordan.
Even without a war, the month of Ramadan always heralds violence especially around the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Today , two Israeli civilians and a solider were attacked and stabbed by a 15 year old boy on a bike, at the entrance to Jerusalem.
Hamas are hoping to rally support and set the West Bank and Jerusalem on fire, but it seems to date that the Israeli Arabs and those living in the West Bank have not fully answered the call, and while there are daily incidents, there is not yet an intifada.
The IDF are actively routing out Hamas operatives and terror cells in the West Bank and are in no mood to tread lightly, but are using all resources available to ensure there is no hiding place for those who intend to bring terror and death to the streets. 3,500, who are associated with terror groups have been arrested.
Hordes of weapons are still being discovered and destroyed together with stashes of money. A large terrorist attack intended for Tel Aviv and Jerusalem was thankfully thwarted this week, and the terrorist from Jenin was eliminated after he pulled a gun.
The IDF and Shin Bet are doing an amazing job under very difficult circumstances.
The IDF have not yet fully entered Rafah, which is the last significant stronghold of the Hamas, but are carrying out precision strikes and it is reported that they killed the 3rd and 4th in command and no 2 and no 1 have no safe hiding place ! A full strike on the area is not possible until a safe corridor is established for the many sheltering civilians.
Aid continues to pour into Gaza on land and from the air. A pier is being constructed out at sea in order to prevent Hamas from stealing the aid intended for the civilians . Aid trucks are routinely raided and attacked by gangs of men. Deaths were reported when the aid dropped from above, landed on those rushing to collect it .
The Houthi continue to target ships and disrupt the shipping routes in the Red Sea. The UK and the US are actively targeting them in Yemen. It is reported that the sunken ship’s load has caused an environmental disaster and dead marine life is being washed up on the shores of Yemen.
The international community is making a lot of noise about Gaza and even accusing Israel of torturing the medics who were removed from the hospitals that were harbouring weapons and terrorists, showing photos of men stripped to their underpants, which is necessary to ensure they are not carrying weapons. These medics were aiding and abetting Hamas and were working at the hospitals where the hostages were held and hidden.
What the international community is not making much noise about is the release of the hostages or the savage sexual assaults and dehumanisation that the Israelis suffered on October 7th, despite these depraved acts being filmed and shared !
Israel does in fact have more support than one would believe if they listened solely to say the BBC. The silent majority are not fools and can see if they want to see that Israel is fighting a death cult. Millions are praying that this week will be the last week that the hostages remain in their dark captivity suffering a nightmare beyond horror, and that Israel will be victorious very soon, and “the day after” can dawn.
Shabbat Shalom
