Am Yisrael Chai

On Shabbat in Israel as Jews celebrated Shabbat and Simchat Torah (celebration of finishing the annual reading cycle of the Torah) She was invaded by hamass. So how could this happen? How could Israel with it’s amazing IDF and Mossad have been caught so flat footed? Like the Yom Kippur war of 1973, this was a surprise attack that didn’t surprise those not blinded by normalcy bias. The Egyptians openly trained and conditioned the Israelis to write off the training as “just maneuvers”. In an interview with Tamar Yonah, Jonathan Pollard told of seeing a hamass video in which they were parading with all their rockets, in formation in military garb. He talked to people about it, people that should have listened and could have done something. Which they did, they told him it was “just propaganda”. He told them it wasn’t, to look at the end of the video, when they say “Soon”. Well, “soon” came about 2 weeks later. It might also be helpful to remember that the left is in control of the military and intelligence services in Israel and well as America. Remember as many Israelis were protesting judicial reform the left urged soldiers not to show up, they urged pilots and doctors not to show up for work. Do I know if that played a role? No, but it was on my mind as I just did a column on July 28th of this year. The left is willing to destroy anything, as long as they’re in control of what’s left, to paraphrase Moshe Feiglin.

So, how did we get here?

It also might be worth remembering Israel completely surrendered the Gaza strip to the arabs in 2005 as part of the disaster known as the 1993 Oslo accords. The IDF came and pulled Israelis living in the Gaza strip out of their homes and farms, all that was turned over to the “peaceful falestinians” just yearning for a land of their own. They got it, in 2005, Gaza, the two state solution. Israel traded land for peace. It has failed abysmally. And, they should have known. Talk about ignoring the writing on the wall. This article is from September 12, 2023 and is quite good. But it’s not that different from this one written on September 15, 2002. But this one gives some data.

During the first seven years following the accords, more than 300 Israelis were murdered by Palestinian Arab terrorists–far more than the number killed during the seven years before Oslo. Since October 2000, when the Palestinian Authority launched its all-out war against Israel, another 600 Israelis have been murdered–a total of nearly 1,000 fatalities since the Oslo agreement. From the standpoint of personal security, Israelis are far worse off today than before Oslo.

….

Oslo even put guns in the terrorists’ hands. As part of the agreement, Israel supplied the PA security forces with thousands of rifles that weresupposed to be used to fight against terrorists. Instead, they have been used to murder Israelis.

What, oh what I ask, could go wrong? Well, the denizens of Gaza voted by 70% to be ruled by hamass rather than the corrupt dishonest Falestinian Authority. That being said, Israel gets some of it’s intelligence from the arabs living in Gaza. But for the most part, they voted for this misery the live under with hamass.

So in my reasonably humble opinion, there shouldn’t be any arabs in Gaza to use it as a base from which to launch rockets into Israel. I think they should have used Moshe Feiglin’s plan. Give the arabs a sum of money to leave Israel and a one way ticket to wherever. Jordan, Syria, there’s lots of countries that are muslim and speak Arabic. Same with Judea and Shomron, pay them off and set the free from being “oppressed” by Israel. Except that they don’t want to go.

So what’s happened?

Apparently hamass knocked out part of Israel’s monitoring system in the area with bomb drones.

I’ve also heard the fence was weakened by all the protests earlier. Apparently those parts of the fence, if I’m understanding this correctly, were where the bulldozers just knocked it down, and in some areas set fire.

This is a map of Israel

The hamass terrorists came in and it sounds like the town of Sderot has been almost wiped out. There were arab terrorist journalists giving updates from Israeli cities as the terrorists roamed freely through the town slaughtering people as they found them. People were calling for help asking where the Army was, the terrorists were at the door, then the line would go dead. The terrorists went to the bomb shelters, knocked on the door pretending to be people in need of shelter and when the door was opened to them, they killed everyone inside.

Which brings me to my next point, while Israel is filtering the news, and I’ve heard most of the world media didn’t report much initially, hamass is very proud of what they’ve done and have shot lots of video and posted it to their social media accounts which it seems aren’t censored.

These are hard to watch, so take that as a warning. The hamass terrorists are not humans, they have lost all trace of humanity. There are 1,000 dead Israelis, I believe most of them are civilians as that seems to be what hamass are targeting. They aren’t going to military bases for the most part, but instead Kibbutzim and small towns. There have been soldiers captured, and hamass is beheading them. There were 260 teenagers killed at a music festival. Because nothing says we’re big brave soldiers like killing a bunch of dancing teenagers, or old men driving a car. Military targets? Seriously?

But it’s not just hamass from Gaza, hamass is asking Hebollocks in the north to join in the fun. And they are starting to show they might.

I’ve heard the number of Israeli casualties from Saturday’s attack is now equal to the number of casualties they had during the June 1967 six days war.

What about the Iron Dome? Apparently they shot so many rockets into Israel in a short period of time, it overwhelmed the Iron Dome defense system.

Hamass claims to have captured over 150-200 Israeli citizens, most of which seem to be women, children, the elderly and are holding them hostage. One was a German citizen there for the music festival. She was a tattoo artist and had a very distinctive tattoo on her leg. It’s what the family used to identify her in hamass video and speak out to the press contradicting hamass. She was not an IDF soldier, just a girl at a music festival. It seems like most of the hostages are being taken back to Gaza and abused and paraded through the streets of Gaza.

Although some they took video of in their homes like this scared elderly lady they were mocking.

Apparently hamass is extremely proud of shooting terrified children as they ran, they posted that to social media as well.

hamass also considered the Synagogue and Barzilei hospital in Ashkelon to be valid targets. Apparently the arabs think everyone hides munitions and soldiers in hospitals and their religious buildings. Nope, just them. They also use schools and apartment buildings, nothing is to low for hamass.

Apparently including cannibalism. Remember a few years ago when the Kurds were fighting for freedom in Syria? There was video of the Syrian soldiers eating the heart of a dead enemy soldier? Well, not to be out done, as I understand it, there is video of hamass eating pieces of their victims. I don’t have it, and wouldn’t post it if I did. But understand well what hamass is. Sub-human, sub-animal.

The IDF has captured some of the hamass terrorists, “We prepared for more than a year. The demonstrations in Israel encouraged us. It was 5 hours before we were shot at. We were prepared with 1000 fighters, we made 15 breaches in the fence. We were shocked that the IDF was not waiting for us. We walked with the abductees for two hours.”..

I’m guessing he’s talking about the leftists run judicial reform protests.

Curious as to where hamass got the weapons? FLASHBACK: US weapons left behind during Afghanistan withdrawal would be used in terrorist attacks against Israel, IDF official warned

Yepper, we paid for them, U.S. we paid. I understand weapons we’ve sent to Ukraine have also shown up. Golly gosh, it’s kind of like when obama was suppose to be dropping weapons to the Kurds and somehow the people tasked with the job kept dropping them to the muslims they were fighting. And just to mention that aid money that we’re sending Israel? Yeah, that has to be spent with U.S., buying weapons. Sort of like another reallocation scheme. But it’s always been that way when we sent Israel aid, it had to be spent with U.S. Does anyone know if Lloyd Austin is still on the board of Raytheon?

But, there is some good news coming out of Israel, consider this my PSA, it’s from Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s security minister. This went into effect on Monday.

1. Every citizen who passes the exams will have a telephone interview instead of a physical interview, and will receive permission to carry firearms within a week.

[Self-defense tests: Residence in an eligible settlement, veterans of Rifle 07 (soon it will be given to every soldier a rifle), officers in the rank of lieutenant or higher and combatants in the rank of major or higher in the IDF and the security forces, service in special units, firefighters, policemen, and worker and volunteers in the rescue forces.]

2. Any citizen who received a conditional permit to purchase a firearm and did not purchase a firearm during the year 2023 and the conditional license has expired, will be able to purchase a firearm now without the need to submit another application. The exemption will apply to about 4000 citizens.

3. Any citizen who deposited his weapon in the last six months due to failure to perform refresher training or renewal training, will be able to receive his weapon back. The exemption will apply to about 1800 citizens.

4. In addition, starting next Tuesday, conditional permits to carry firearms will be issued with a permit allowing the purchase of up to 100 bullets instead of 50 today.

Minister of National Security MK Itamar Ben Gvir: “I thank the personnel of the Firearms Licensing Division, the Civil Response Department of the Israel Police and the employees of the Ministry of Health for the very important commitment that will allow as many citizens as possible to arm themselves and protect themselves and their environment when necessary.”

Good, hand those guns out like candy! Raise the Altelena and get the guns that the leftist David Ben Gurion sank. As Tamar pointed out in her show, it’s no wonder the obiden junta are pushing Bibi Netanyahu to form a “unity government” with Lapid and Gantz. They would refuse to sit with someone like Itamar Ben-Gvir, so perhaps he would be pushed out. So you would end up with a leftist government which is not what the citizens of Israel wanted or voted for. But voting, bah! That’s not the demoncratic way now is it?

But this flotsam and jetsam from the human gene pool are suppose to be Israel’s “peace partners.” And they certainly have their supporters, in Philadelphia, Ft. Lauderdale and London arabs have been dancing in the streets and marching in support of the murderers. And much of the world, at least the leftist world doesn’t understand they don’t want a land of their own, they want dead Jews. And I’ve no longer any patience at all for moral relativism. The foreign minister of Australia called for both sides to show restraint! This seriously unhinged individual called for both sides to show “restraint”. How about oh heck no. When Israel is going to bomb a building, they drop leaflets in arabic warning the arabs to get out, they send text messages, they give them every chance. That needs to stop. These people voted for and support hamass. Apparently several breeches in the fence hamass came through were created by residents of Gaza. Again, they voted for hamass……

Right now government buildings in many countries around the world are lit up in blue and white. Yay, how cool. And how will they vote the next time the U.N. is trying to condemn Israel for some nonsense. And the obiden junta, saying they support Israel. Really? Cause you just gave billions of dollars to Iran, who told you from the beginning they would spend it however they wanted. But, you did it. And the obiden crime junta has no plans to re-freeze the 6 billion they gave Iran. And for about 20 seconds the world stood with Israel, and 20 seconds later, EU in massive U-turn as it declares it WILL continue to fund Palestine. Well, that didn’t take long.

In an effort to be just and moral, kind to the poor peaceful falestinians, Israel has been cruel to their own citizens. Much like the obiden junta. In an effort to be kind to the rest of the world, they are now exposing their citizens to the same acts of violence.

This is from Michael Yon down in the Darian Gap, this is what is heading towards U.S.

Remember the arabic saying? “First we kill the Saturday people, then we kill the Sunday people”. Meaning first we kill the Jews, then we kill the Christians.

It’s time to look back, back to King David, as Tamar Yonah pointed out in another broadcast, “How would King David handle this?” I think that’s worth exploring. We can all learn from history. It’s time to stop “kicking the can down the road”. Don’t “manage” the terror, eliminate it.

May G-d guide and guard Israel.

Am Yisrael Chai.

  1. You did it to yourselves. The citizens of Israel live encircled by people who have sworn to kill them at any chance. The citizens of Israel were disarmed and told the ARMY would protect them. I agree the arabs are animals but you gave up your weaponry and telling everyone how the government is now going to lock the barn door after the horse has been stolen is cold comfort to those slaughtered like a chicken for the pot. Blame the arabs for the slaughter, blame your own people for enabling it. JEWS. GUNS. NO COMPROMISE, NO SURRENDER. Yeah right.

  2. Mark Steyn said;

    “Perhaps we will learn the truth about that “intelligence failure”. Or perhaps it will join the increasing list of perplexing events – in America alone, from the Vegas massacre to the trans shooter’s manifesto – that remain “unexplained”.

    But in the meantime we have real victims, real corpses, real desecrated corpses. And we have the barbarians rejoicing in them. And huge numbers of westerners supporting those monsters. Let’s take it as read that you don’t dig the Jews. In the end, which will be coming soon enough, this isn’t about the Jews, it’s about you.”

    This is about each of us no matter what GOD we worship or not.

    IMHO No civilized people can allow mad dogs to do harm, I only know of one way to deal with mad dogs, you have to put them down.

  3. As I watched the news coverage of this barbarism happening, a thought came to me. That thought was ” Never Again.”
    Remember how many times we have heard that old saw, spoken about the Holocaust? And how by saying never again, people implied that never again would the world allow any nation or group to target another nation or group, simply because of their identity.
    Yet I thought how those words, spoken during the waning days of WWII and after, were just that. Words, maybe meant at the time, or at least people thought in their hearts that they meant them. But as time has proven over and over again, the nation of Israel has always been, and it seems will always be, until the end days, the one nation that people love to hate.
    As you point out, it is not just people around the rest of the world that expresses that hate, but many right here in America. And not just the citizens and college students, even in the halls of congress, with the so called Squad, coming out and either urging restraint on both parties, or in one instance, pretty much condemning Israel and her position in the region.
    Rashida Tlaib “I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day,” she wrote. “I am determined as ever to fight for a just future where everyone can live in peace, without fear and with true freedom, equal rights, and human dignity.”
    “The path to that future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance,” Tlaib, who is of Palestinian descent, said in her statement. “The failure to recognize the violent reality of living under siege, occupation, and apartheid makes no one safer. No person, no child anywhere should have to suffer or live in fear of violence.”
    I noted no words about the rape, beheading, hostage taking, or civilians murdered by the disgusting Hamas forces. No condemnation of the tactics of hiding their own weapons and personnel among civilian areas. Plus it took her 2 days to come out with any statement at all. While she doesn’t represent my district, I am ashamed to say that she does represent my own state of Michigan. Elected from the mostly Muslim southeast area, of course.
    My wife says that all of her FBook friends are very concerned with the events happening, and are speaking about Biblical warnings and end times. She looked to me for reassurance, as I have some knowledge of Eschatology, or basically end times prophesy. Sadly, in this instance, I am unable to give her any reassurance, as from what I have read and understand, things are following what has been prophesied for many centuries. I am not foolish enough to say that this is the end times. That has been said too many times before, yet we continue on. I do think that it is going to get worse, much worse before we can think of anything like that. What I can only hope for, aside from the nation of Israel regaining safety and security, is that the people of America who need to learn from this, will indeed learn. The lessons that must be learned are harsh, but there is no way around it, unless American’s learn from this, and begin to protect our own borders, etc., we will see this happening again, only with a much closer viewpoint.

    1. Very thoughtful comment. Your “end of times” musing is particularly poignant and worthy of deep reflection.

      1. MNM,
        I often feel bad for writing such long diatribes here. But I am especially passionate about Israel, having learned about the holocaust at a very early age, and being horrified by it.
        No nation, be it Israel or even a nation who supports terrorism like Iran, deserves the attack that fell upon the innocent people of Israel this past weekend.
        To expect Israel to proportionately restrain their response to this attack, when the violence and hostage taking goes so much against human decency, is just not even worthy of consideration.

  4. “Do not be overly righteous, and do not be exceedingly wise; why should you be be destroyed?” (Ecclesiastes 7:16)

    “Do not be overly righteous, and do not be exceedingly wise.” “Do not be overly righteous” – more [righteous] than your Creator; this is a reference to Saul, as it is written: “Saul came to the city of Amalek [and lay in wait [vayarev] in the valley]”(I Samuel 15:5). Rabbi Huna and Rabbi Benaya say: He began deliberating against his Creator. He said: So said the Holy One blessed be He: “Go and smite Amalek…[put to death both men and women, infant and suckling babes, ox and sheep, camel and donkey” (I Samuel 15:3) if the men sinned, what sin did the women commit? What sin did the children commit? What sin did the cattle, the ox, and the donkey commit? A Divine Voice emerged and said: “Do not be overly righteous;” [do not be] more [righteous] than your Creator. The Rabbis say: He began to deliberate regarding the beheaded calf and say: The verse said: “They shall behead the calf there in the valley” (Deuteronomy 21:4);
    he kills and it is beheaded? If a person sinned, what sin did the animal commit? A Divine Voice emerged and said: “Do not be overly righteous.” Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish says: Anyone who becomes compassionate when he should be cruel will ultimately become cruel when he should be compassionate, as it is stated: “And Nov, the city of priests, he smote by sword” (I Samuel 22:19).
    Should Nov not be like descendants of Amalek? The Rabbis say: Anyone who becomes compassionate when he should be cruel, ultimately, the attribute of justice will harm him, as it is stated: “Saul and his three sons died” (I Samuel 31:6).

    1. Thank you so much for this, YV ben Avraham. I am a Christian, but on who finds so very much of the Old Testament to be relevant to us today. I especially appreciate when someone who truly understands the message given in the Old Testament explains how parts of it relate to itself and to us today.
      The long lists of generations, found in 1st Chronicles, so many people just skip over, like they are not worth study. Yet I have had people who taught me on the generations listed, and how they had meaning, who they are, where they came from, and how they fit into the whole plan of G-d.
      So I have to again thank you for your wisdom and encouragement, given via the written Words of the Bible. I wish that more people would see and understand.
