Gazans are Ready to Migrate

by David Israel

Despite fierce Arab and other international opposition, Trump’s radically out-of-the-box thinking appears to have ignited interest in several potential host countries, three of them in Africa.

Defense Minister Israel Katz directed the IDF to prepare for the voluntary emigration of Arab residents from the Gaza Strip.

At least 53% of Gaza residents would emigrate immediately if given the opportunity. Furthermore, 49% of those surveyed even emphasized that if they had the financial means to smuggle themselves out of the Strip, they would do so and smuggle their families out as well.

The vast majority of US media has suggested that encouraging Gazan emigration was a violation of international law. Of course, since the start of the Syrian upheavals in 2010, as millions were seeking shelter in EU countries, no one suggested that helping these refugees find shelter somehow violated international law. (The international law which forbids population transfer is only applied to Israel. It was adopted by the ‘Ugly Nazi’ immediately after Israel won the War of Independence in 1949, to prevent removal of the hostile Arab population from Israel.)

The skewed view of US and European media is based on the assumption that Gaza Arabs prefer the squalor and ruins of the Strip and would resist an effort to find a better life elsewhere. Never mind that Gazans who could afford it paid Hamas and the Egyptian border guards from $5,000 to $10,000 per capita to be allowed to flee Gaza.

It should be noted that more than 13 million people have fled the war in Syria, which began more than 10 years ago. In 2021, Spain granted asylum to some 500 Syrian refugees. Over 3,000 refugees were resettled in Ireland. (Since the beginning of the war with Russia, over 6 million Ukrainians have left Ukraine.)

 Create Palestinian State in Saudi Arabia

In response to a question regarding Saudi Arabia’s stated precondition for normalizing ties with Israel – namely, a framework for the establishment of a Palestinian state. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded: ”The Saudis can create a Palestinian state in Saudi Arabia; they have plenty of land over there.” He added, “Under Hamas rule, Gaza functioned as a Palestinian state, and the result was the worst massacre since the Holocaust.” (Why not? Saudis ‘love’ their Palestinian brothers and sisters.)

After the governments of Spain, Norway, and Ireland unilaterally recognized a Palestinian state, Netanyahu condemned the move, calling the two-state proposal a “reward for terrorism”. “Eighty percent of the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria support the terrible massacre of October 7. This evil cannot be given a state,” Netanyahu said. “This would be a terrorist state. It would attempt to repeat the October 7 massacre repeatedly; we will not allow this.”

War Crimes Against Hostages

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon sent an urgent letter to the UN Secretary-General António Guterres regarding the dire physical condition of the three Israeli hostages released from Hamas captivity.

“Today, after 491 days in the cruel hands of Hamas, three more Israeli hostages have been released – Eli Sharabi (52), Or Levy (34), and Ohad Ben Ami (56). Kidnapped, tortured, and starved, they emerge from captivity thin, traumatized, exhausted, and in pain – victims of a brutal and cynical spectacle orchestrated by Hamas.”

Danon accused the UN of being manipulated by Hamas. “For over a year, the international community has been manipulated by a jihadist terrorist group, shielded and protected even within the halls of the UN, spreading false propaganda about so-called “starvation” in Gaza.” (The ‘Ugly Nazi’, with the chief anti-Semite António Guterres in charge, only happy to assist Hamas in its heinous terror against Israel.)

Food for Thought: by Steven Shamrak

Almost 70% of Gaza residents are still considered as refugees, the fourth or fifth generation already. Since 1949, they have been cared for by the UNWRA with the help of terrorist groups like Fatah and Hamas. No other group of refugees, who escape war and military conflicts are enjoying such privilege. Most of them under supervision of the UNHCR are moved and resettled in other countries. This anti-Israel international anti-Semitic travesty must end!

Hamas Taxes Humanitarian Aid Trucks

Hamas has established checkpoints at multiple locations along the main roads in the Gaza Strip, where it collects highway fees from truck drivers. Hamas is stopping humanitarian aid trucks entering Gaza at checkpoints, imposing taxes on goods brought into the Strip. Due to the ceasefire agreement, no one, including Israel, can prevent Hamas terrorists from controlling the main roads in the Gaza Strip.

Trump Threatens Ceasefire Deal

President Trump said he was losing patience with the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas after seeing footage of the Palestinian terror group releasing Israeli hostages over the weekend, whose appearance he compared to the old pictures of Holocaust survivors Holocaust survivors. Trump said: “I don’t know how much longer we can take that. At some point we’re going to lose our patience.” The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) stated that “the shocking images that we have seen today will not go unaddressed.”

Moving Gazans to Judea and Samaria?

In light of US President Donald Trump’s plan to relocate Gazans, senior PA officials will propose to Chairman Abbas to resettle Arabs from Gaza in a new city that would be built west of Jericho. (And then they will have a civil war between Hamas and Fatah, and Israel will be blamed for it.)

Goodbye to UNHCR and UNRWA

The US left the Geneva-based Human Rights Council last year, and it stopped funding UNRWA, after it came to light that the organization’s employees participated in the horrific October 7, 2023 terrorist massacre. President Donald Trump announced that the United States will withdraw from the top UN human rights body and will not resume funding for UNRWA. Israel joined the US in quitting the UN Human Rights Council.

Terrorism Pays – Millions

Many terrorists released by Israel are now millionaires, flush with cash from years of receiving monthly “pay for slay” stipends from the Palestinian Authority’s so-called Martyrs’ Fund while incarcerated. In total, the terrorists received $141,837,087. The PA President Mahmoud Abbas said in October 2019, “The Martyrs and their families are sacred, the wounded and the prisoners. We must pay all of them. If one penny remains in our hands it is for them and not for the living.” (There is no difference between Hamas and Fatah terrorists!)

Israelis Support Relocation of Gazans

Around 80% of Israelis agree with US President Donald Trump’s plan to relocate Gazans to other countries. Only 13% of respondents believed that Trump’s proposal was immoral. Among them, 54% were Arab respondents, while only 3% of Jewish Israelis shared this view, mainly Labor voters.

Freed Terrorists will be Transferred

Turkey, Qatar, Pakistan, and Malaysia have agreed to accept released terrorists, and negotiations are currently underway with Algeria and Indonesia on the issue. Israel has deported 99 released terrorists to Egypt as part of the ceasefire and hostage release agreement with Hamas. Egypt has announced that it is only willing to accept prisoners who are members of Fatah. An additional 263 terrorist prisoners will be deported to Egypt. (Terrorists supporters, 80% of population of Gaza, are next!)

Quotes of the Week:

“In Gaza, absolute security and full control must be maintained without any form of capitulation. May your efforts be met with much success! The Hebrew meaning of Gaza implies taking a strong, courageous stance. However, if control can be achieved through pleasant and peaceful means, that would be the ideal approach.” – The Lubavitcher Rebbe, responded to an activist developing Jewish settlement in Gaza in 1991 – Enemies of Israel, Hamas and Fatah, have proven many times that “peaceful means” are impossible. Israel has tried it since 1949. Nothing has worked. It is time to start reclaiming the Jewish lands!

The Curse of Self-imposed Limitation

by Steven Shamrak (Sep 2005)

The UN, USA, EU and even Arab states are not to be blamed for Israel’s problems. They have always been disparaging of Jews. We will never be able to please them or change their nature. Disunity, self-hate and lack of direction are the main problems of the Jewish people.

The International pressure on Israel and the despair of Jewish people have been steadily increasing since the creation of Israel.  The present level of disunity and even hate among Jews is appalling in Israel and in the Diaspora! These are direct results of the continuation of gutless, self-disrespectful and divisive policies that have been conducted by most Israeli governments and many community leaders.

Many Jewish communities have been hiding behind nice and politically correct activities that have not resulted in any true accomplishment! There are thousands of Jewish organisations, publications, websites and active individuals. Most of them are acting with a good intention for the common good. Many of them are even getting positive results in their niche.  But there is a lack of the common vision, leadership and direction.

For centuries, our enemies have been exploiting Jewish disunity with considerable success. After living in an anti-Semitic atmosphere for so long, the Jewish people misplaced their national pride: the pride that made us unique among the nations! This was the pride that compelled Jews to fight both the Greek and Roman occupations. The pride that made us succeed against all odds in business, science, medicine, music, art, etc.

Unfortunately, Jews started to believe the slander of our ‘inadequate’ enemies. Even in our own country, we are living under the imaginary ‘Glass ceiling’ – self-imposed limitations – and are unwilling to leave our self-imprisonment and realise our destiny.

We need Jewish leaders, bankers, educators and influencers to be united by one Jewish national goal now! Where are they? There is no time for useless debates anymore. Political affiliations must not interfere with the right of the Jewish people to live on all Jewish land as a sovereign nation. The time for action has arrived!

We must remember the words of Hillel: “If I am not for myself, who will be for me?”
