Hamas Psychological Warfare Tactics by Vered Weis A Hamas document reveals its negotiation sabotage and psychological warfare tactics. (That is why Hamas took the hostages.) A document on the computer of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar revealed the terror group’s strategy for thwarting negotiations, tarnishing Israel’s image, wearing out the Jewish state militarily, and exerting psychological pressure through abuse of hostages. The document recommends, “Continue to exert psychological pressure on the families of the hostages, both now and during the first phase (of the ceasefire) so that public pressure on the enemy government increases.” This strategy is evident in the release of individual videos of the six hostages who were murdered execution style. During the videos, the slain captives often criticized the Israeli government. They discussed the poor conditions of their captivity, consistent with the kind of statements Hamas forces hostages to say. The document indicated that, even in the event of a ceasefire agreement, Hamas would continue to find ways to extend the war and re-arm. The document recommended further complicating negotiations, regardless of the costs to Palestinian civilians. “Important clauses in the deal should be improved upon, even if negotiations continue over a longer period of time.” The document also discussed the release of Palestinian prisoners and supported the proposal that “Arab forces be stationed along the eastern and northern borders” with Israel.” The purpose is to serve “as a buffer to prevent the enemy from entering Gaza after the war ends until they (Hamas) have reorganized their ranks and military capabilities.” The document further says that “The media must be made aware that Hamas agreed, but that the deal failed due to Israel’s stubbornness” and that Israel should be “held responsible for the failure of an agreement”. (That is what the anti-Israel/anti-Semitic media does so well!) Food for Thought by Steven Shamrak There are three reasons why we see and hear so much anti-Israel propaganda in the news. Number one, Political, mainly news programs from the Muslim countries, like Al Jazeera, pushing an anti-Israel agenda. The other two are anti-Semitism of the news editors or/and Opportunistic catering by the Western media outlets to the pathological needs of their Jew-hating audience. All three of them have been ‘successfully’ practiced since the creation of the Jewish state in 1948. The war in Gaza is just used as a temporary amplifier. Interestingly, news programs from India, China and Japan do not care much about the war in Gaza or the Arab-Israeli conflict in general.
Zionism is the Jewish National Independence Movement Please, Support SHAMRAK Report Idiotic 'Two-state Solution' Conference Ministers from Muslim and European nations convene in Madrid to explore ways to advance a two-state solution. Israel was not invited to take part. In May, Spain, Norway, and Ireland formally recognized a Palestinian state. In attendance were Palestinian Authority (PA) cabinet leader Mohammad Mustafa, along with the foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, alongside leaders from the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. (Enemies of Israel do not want a two-state Solution. It is a ploy to discredit and destroy Israel, the only Jewish state!) Weapons Found in Israel's Arab Town In a raid conducted in Yafa an-Naseriyye, an Arab town in the metropolitan area of Nazareth, the Israel Police and Special Forces uncovered a large stockpile of weapons, including four guns, hundreds of bullets, cartridges and a lot of ammunition. A shoulder-held M72 LAW (light anti-tank missile) and a homemade Carlo sub-machine gun were also discovered in a tunnel shaft. Since the beginning of the year, the Northern Police recorded significant seizures of illegal weapons, including 253 pistols, 148 rifles, 161 grenades, 141 explosives, bombs, and improvised explosive devices. (What are the weapons for?) Three UNRWA Terrorists Killed in a Strike IDF released names of 9 Hamas terrorists who were killed in an airstrike on a Hamas command center, including 3 who were also employed by UNRWA, at the former Al Jaouni School. "How long will the UN continue to bury its head in the sand and ignore the fact that Hamas terrorists have taken over UNRWA? These murderers are not aid workers. They are terrorists with blood on their hands and were rightly eliminated," Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon wrote. Unity of Islamic Terrorists - Sinwar and Nasrallah Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar sent a letter to Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, thanking him for continuously attacking northern Israel after the massacre Hamas committed in southern Israel on October 7, 2023. Africans Support the Jewish State 40 lawmakers from 17 African countries - Botswana, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Madagascar, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia - affirmed Jerusalem is the true capital of Israel and declared an intention to seek partnerships with the Jewish State. The statement was intended to counter the African Union and South Africa, which has accused Israel of committing genocide in the International Court of Justice (ICJ). (Unfortunately, most governments of these African states are still playing the ‘Oil’ game.) Paraguay Moves Embassy to Jerusalem Again The Republic of Paraguay will open its embassy in Jerusalem by the end of 2024. Paraguay first moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in 2018. However, months later, the embassy was returned to Tel Aviv, setting off a diplomatic crisis with Israel. PA Wants the UN to Ethnically Cleanse Jews The Palestinian Authority is circulating a draft resolution asking the United Nations General Assembly to urge Israel to withdraw from Judea and Samaria and remove some 500,000 Israeli citizens living in the territory within six months. (Not a single member of the 'Ugly Nazi' has protested against the draft of this resolution. On October 7 the world saw the result of the forceful removal of 8,500 Jews and withdrawal of theIDF from Gaza in 2005.) Terror Attacks on Jews don’t Count There’s been a huge increase in attempts to murder Jews in Judea and Samaria in recent weeks, but you wouldn’t know it from reading The New York Times or watching CNN. Because, it seems, some terrorist attacks just don’t count. There were 53 terrorist attacks foiled in July. That number rose to 90 attacks against Israelis in August. Can you imagine the international reaction if there had been 90 attempts by Jews to murder Palestinian Arabs in one month? ‘Safe Passage’ to Sinwar for Hostages Israel is reportedly offering safe passage to Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and his family in exchange for the remaining 101 hostages. (Unfortunately, most of the hostages are already killed by Hamas terrorists.) Fake State Takes Seat in the UN General Assembly The ‘State of Palestine’ took a seat among member states at the UN General Assembly, despite it not being a full member of the body. In May, an overwhelming majority of the General Assembly asserted that Palestinians deserved full membership, a move that has been blocked by the United States. Now the fake state can submit proposals and amendments, and sit among member states. “This is not merely a procedural matter. This is a historic moment for us,” said Egyptian Ambassador Osama Mahmoud Abdelkhalek Mahmoud. (The 'Ugly Nazi' has shown its true anti-Semitic nature again. This violates the US laws. It means the US is supposed to cut off all funds to any UN agency that recognizes the PA. Why doesn't President Biden act against the violation of the Taylor Force act?) New Rifles for Rapid Response Units Defense Ministry acquired 9,000 cutting-edge "Arad" rifles to the tune of 50 million NIS, and successfully re-equipped 97 rapid response units nationwide. Once completed, 120 rapid response units in northern Israel will be fully re-equipped. The rifles, developed and manufactured in Israel by IWI (Israel Weapon Industries), complement the 5,000 "Arad" rifles previously acquired. Enough with PA-UN anti-Israel Resolutions Game Foreign Minister Israel Katz has threatened to “break and dissolve” the Palestinian Authority if they move forward with aggressive measures against Israel in the United Nations. The threat came as the PA submitted a draft resolution to the General Assembly demanding that Israel be forced to implement the decisions of the International Court of Justice in Hague. The resolution calls for an Israeli withdrawal from the territories within six months, ending the settlement enterprise and “the return of Palestinians to their land,” enforced sanctions on senior Israeli officials, and blocking weapons sales to Israel if they might be used in Palestinian areas. (Dissolving the PA and removing the enemy population from the Jewish land is long overdue!) Hamas Makes Billions from ‘Humanitarian’ Aid Hamas has profited by at least a half billion dollars from humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip. Hamas steals the humanitarian aid and sells it to the population. It then uses the money to finance recruitment. Some 3,000 terrorists have been added to Hamas’s payroll in northern Gaza. The Israeli government has been under pressure from the Biden administration to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza from the war’s start. The BBC is fourteen times more likely to accuse Israel of genocide than Hamas. It also found the BBC breached its own editorial guidelines 1,553 times, including impartiality, accuracy, editorial values and public interest. The BBC's Arabic Channel was singled out in the report as one of the 'most-biased' media outlets in its coverage of the war. The report found 11 cases where the coverage was done by reporters who allegedly had made public statements in support of Hamas. Quotes of the Week: “We must have a two-state solution where we can rebuild Gaza, where the Palestinians have security, self-determination, and the dignity they so rightly deserve,” - Vice President Harris said - She doesn't care about security and the dignity of the Jewish state. "Vice President Harris should stop parroting failed theories and trying to force a square peg into a round hole. After Oct. 7, the two-state became a dead letter. A Palestinian state between Israel and Jordan will destabilize both countries and bring only additional terror and misery," - David Friedman, former US ambassador to Israel Israeli Useful Idiots for Sinwar by Caroline Glick On Oct. 7, Hamas terrorists snatched Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, Carmel Gat, 39, Eden Yerushalmi, 24, Almog Sarusi, 26, Alex Lobanov, 32, and Ori Danino, 25, from the Supernova Music Festival and their homes along the border with Gaza, along with 250 other innocents and held them as hostages. Hamas executed Hersh, Carmel, Eden, Almog, Alex and Ori, apparently quite recently. And the IDF brought their bodies home. Rather than respond to the heartbreaking news with condemnations of Hamas and demands that Israel fight to victory - Israel’s opposition leaders in the Knesset have joined the anarchist groups in blaming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for Hamas’s murder of the six. Benny Gantz, Yair Lapid, Yair Golan, and their underlings, have joined the leftist groups that have been using mass riots, political violence, and general mayhem since 2019 in an effort to oust Netanyahu from power, and have called on Israelis to take to the streets in response to the executions and bring down the government through violence. The behaviour of Lapid, Gantz, Golan; 90% of Israel’s media organs, and the rest of the left’s representatives, raises the question: Have they lost their minds? Sinwar’s war strategy has been the same since the outset of the war: To use international pressure and domestic political unrest to compel Israel to capitulate to his demands. If he and Hamas are able to survive, Hamas wins. Obviously, the hostages are a key means of accomplishing his goal. Israel needs to win this terrible war. It has no choice.
