Israel will Win with or without ‘THEM’

Israel National News

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a message to French President Emmanuel Macron and the entire civilized world, promising that Israel will defend itself, and those who stand against it will be judged by history.

“Today, Israel is defending itself on 7 fronts against the enemies of civilization. We are fighting in Gaza against Hamas, the savages who murdered, raped, beheaded and burned our people on October 7th.”

“We are fighting in Lebanon against Hezbollah, the most heavily armed terror organization in the world, which was planning an even greater massacre than October 7th on our Northern border, and that has rocketed Israeli towns and cities for nearly a year.”

“We are fighting against the Houthis in Yemen, and the Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria, that together have launched hundreds of drones and missile attacks against Israel.”

“We are fighting against terrorists in Judea and Samaria, who are trying to murder civilians in the heart of our cities. And we are fighting against Iran, which last week fired over 200 ballistic missiles directly at Israel and which stands behind this seven-front war against Israel.”

Netanyahu continued, “As Israel fights the forces of barbarism led by Iran, all civilized (but still deeply anti-Semitic) countries should be standing firmly by Israel’s side. Yet President Macron and other western leaders are now calling for arms embargoes against Israel.”

“Shame on them. Is Iran imposing an arms embargo on Hezbollah, on the Houthis, on Hamas and on its other proxies? Of course not. This axis of terror stands together. But countries who supposedly oppose this terror axis call for an arms embargo on Israel.”

“What a disgrace!”

“For in defending ourselves against this barbarism, Israel is defending civilization against those who seek to impose a dark age of fanaticism on all of us.”

“Rest assured, Israel will fight until the battle is won – for our sake and for the sake of peace and security in the world.”

Netanyahu promised, “Israel will win with or without their support. But their shame will continue long after the war is won.”

Food for Thought: by Steven Shamrak

Antisemitism is the old, strange and sick ideology. The world’s two main religions, kings, tzars, Communists, and even civilized democracies have been using it for 2,000 years to control and manipulate people. There is a joke “if there were no Jews, they would be invented”. The wide range of anti-Semites – from Islamist to leaders of the world democracies; from Nazis to Socialists and Communists; all sort of libertarians and sexually diverse people – support Islamic terrorist organisations like Hamas and Hezbollah against Israel. ‘THEY’ don’t care that Islamists hate any form of ‘wokeness’, the progressive ideologies, and democracy more than Israel.

Hamas Officials Fled Lebanon and Iran

Senior Hamas officials are leaving Iran and Lebanon over fears of being eliminated, in the wake of the eliminations of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and former head of Hamas’ political bureau Ismail Haniyeh. They have fled to other countries that are friendly to the terrorist organization, including Qatar and Turkey. Among the dead in the Gaza Strip in the past year 80 percent were Hamas terrorists and their families.

Israel Bars the UN Chief from the Country

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz accused the UN chief Antonio Guterres of failing to “unequivocally” condemn Iran’s missile attack on Israel, and has declared United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres “persona non grata” and barred him from entering the country.

Hamas Hope for Regional War

Sinwar’s growing fatalism, hope for regional war hampering hostage talks. Hamas has shown no willingness to engage in negotiations for a deal in recent weeks, bringing them to a virtual standstill. The officials reportedly suspect this stems from Sinwar growing more resigned to his fate as Israel closes in, and his anger at the killing of his Doha-based predecessor, Ismail Haniyeh.

Struck a Russian Air Base in Syria

For the first time, Israel attacked warehouses of the Russian Khmeimim Air Base shortly after an Iranian plane unloaded its weapons for Hezbollah. Russian air defences tried intercepting the Israeli missiles but failed.

Biden Protects Iran’s Nuclear Program

The US President Joe Biden does not support an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites. Biden stressed Israel has a right to respond to Iranian missile attack, but that it should do so “proportionally”, and he claims that “a diplomatic solution is still possible” and “remains the only path to lasting security”. (All countries have this right. Did the US try ‘diplomatic solution’ or act ‘proportionally’ against Al Qaida terrorists and Taliban?)

IDF Thwart Thousands Terror Attacks

Since the Israel-Hamas War began on October 7, 2023, the Shin Bet and IDF have thwarted over 1,200 significant terror attacks. There were approximately 900 shooting terror attacks and around 290 explosive terror attacks. This is more than double the number of thwarted attacks in many previous years. (Nobody believes in peaceful co-existence anymore.)

Quotes of the Week:

“September 27th is the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough. This is significant because Iran is now fully exposed. The reason why their nuclear facilities have not been destroyed, despite weak air defense systems, is because Hezbollah has been a loaded gun pointed at Israel. This is a moment to stand behind the peace-seeking nation of Israel and the large portion of the Lebanese who have been plagued by Hezbollah and who want to return to the times when their country was thriving, and Beirut a cosmopolitan city,” – Jared Kushner

Proportional Response doesn’t Work

President Biden said he would not support an Israeli strike on an Iranian nuclear facility. Biden said, “They have a right to respond, but they should respond proportionally.” (Stating the obvious, and blocking Israel’s right to defeat the enemies, like the US has done several times before.)

Sen. Lindsey Graham criticized Biden’s proportional response suggestion, urging Israel to defend itself against Iran’s nuclear ambitions and threats. “Iran is not trying to build peaceful nuclear power plants,” he said. “The regime is trying to build a nuclear bomb to achieve its religious objectives. If you don’t understand that, you’re not listening to what Iran is saying, and you’re not watching what they are doing throughout the world.”

Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy stated that if France were in a situation like Israel’s, it would respond in a similar way to how Israel has in its war against Hamas and Hezbollah. “I can never rejoice at someone’s death,” Sarkozy said about Nasrallah’s assassination. “But Israel was attacked. It’s the tragedy of October 7 by Hamas, and it’s Hezbollah that led to a massive displacement of the population from northern Israel.”

The US Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, responding to comments from President Biden, said, “I think he’s got that wrong, isn’t that the one you’re supposed to hit? It’s the biggest risk we have, nuclear weapons, the power of nuclear weapons. When they asked him that question the answer should have been, ‘Hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later.'” 

According to the UN’s nuclear watchdog Iran has uranium enriched to 60 percent purity, close to that required to make a nuclear bomb.

Israel must Finish the Job

“Hezbollah is on its knees. The United States should help Israel drive Hezbollah to the mat and choke it out and finish it off once and for all. Not demand that we have a cease-fire. De-escalate at a time when Israel is trying to win. We should let Israel win. That means for the first time in decades, Iran would be exposed on its flanks with no terror proxy capable of devastating Israel or our troops and our friends in the region.” – Tom Cotton, the US Sen.

“We should be saying plain and clear, finish the job. here is only one thing that will protect Israel and make the Middle East more prosperous and peaceful, and that is the demonstration of power and imposing costs on Israel’s adversaries,” – Mike Pompeo, former US Secretary of State.
