Knesset Said NO to a Palestinian State
by Hezki Baruch
The Knesset approved a proposal to reject the establishment of a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria.
The new resolution, which was passed by a majority of 68 to 9, includes a far broader rejection of Palestinian statehood than a previous resolution passed in February.
The proposal says, "The Israeli Knesset firmly opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state west of the Jordan. The establishment of a Palestinian state in the heart of the Land of Israel will pose an existential threat to the State of Israel and its citizens, perpetuate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and destabilize the region."
"The promotion of the idea of the Palestinian state will be a reward for terrorism and will only encourage Hamas and its supporters who will see this as a victory thanks to the massacre of October 7, 2023, and a prelude to the takeover of jihadist Islam in the Middle East," the proposal reads.
The chairman of New Hope-The National Right, MK Gideon Sa'ar, said, "It is of the utmost importance to strongly oppose a Palestinian state which would constitute a terrorist enterprise and give a reward to our enemies who rise up to destroy us. We praise our colleagues from the coalition and the opposition for making this clear statement to the world."
Proposal supported by Knesset members from the National Right, Likud, National Unity, Shas, United Torah Judaism, Otzma Yehudit, Yisrael Beytenu, and the Religious Zionist Party. (Members of the 'fifth column', Arab-Israeli MKs, voted against the proposal.)
Food for Thought by Steven Shamrak
When you are facing a ‘poor Palestinians’ supporter, or critics of Israel, ask them: “Have you protested on 8th of October against the hideous Hamas terror attack on Israel?” If they didn’t, you’ll definitely know who ‘THEY’ are and why they are so venomous against Israel.
Civilians could be easily moved from Gaza to Sinai, which is just a few meters from Rafah. Why is nobody pressuring Egypt to save their lives, by letting them leave the war zone? That is what the ICJ should investigate, starting with the ‘Ugly Nazi’!
How Jew-Hating Press is 'Framing' Hate for Israel
The headlines of many news publications: "Far-right Israeli minister visits sensitive Jerusalem holy site, threatening Gaza peace talks." Itamar Ben-Gvir, an ultranationalist settler leader (a self-respecting Jew proud Zionist), said he had gone up to the contested Jerusalem hilltop compound of Al Aqsa Mosque (the Temple mount) to pray for the return of the hostages “but without a reckless deal” (with dignity and no surrender). Jews and Muslims both claim the Jerusalem hilltop compound and visits like Ben-Gvir’s, while legal, are seen as a provocation. (Why is visiting the Jewish holiest site in Israel by a Jew as "provocation"?)
Strike in Yemen is a Warning to Iran
The Israeli Air Force targeted Houthi-controlled Al Hudaydah port, used by the terror regime in Yemen to smuggle Iranian weapons. The strikes were launched in response to a July 18 Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv, which killed an Israeli civilian and injured eight others. An IDF official detailed the extent of the Houthi threat on Saturday, stating, “Over 220 projectiles have been launched by the Houthis against Israeli civilians and infrastructure." Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant made clear that Israel’s response was a signal to the entire Iranian-led jihadist axis, operating in Yemen, Iraq, and Syria, together with Iran’s flagship proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The US military ended operation of the Gaza aid pier, will shift efforts to Ashdod port. The pier was announced by US President Joe Biden during a televised address to Congress in March. It took about 1,000 US forces to execute. The $230m trouble-prone pier had to be removed repeatedly from Gaza's shore because of poor weather conditions since its initial installation in mid-May.
Why is Israel Paying for Terrorists’ Legal Defense?
The Israeli government has already allocated around one million shekels (~$275,000) in taxpayers’ money to fund the legal defense by private attorneys (79 of them) of Gazan terrorists who invaded Israel on Oct. 7 and took part in the massacre. (There are many 'Palestinian-loving' NGOs and governments, including UNRWA and the UN. Israel must let them pay the legal bill of Israel-hating terrorists.)
Enemies are not Welcome in the Jewish State
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz officially rejected the request of Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide to visit Israel. The Israeli ambassador to Norway has not yet returned to Oslo since being called for consultations following Norway’s recognition of a Palestinian state and in response to Norway’s extremely hostile rhetoric against Israel. (Another Israel-hater wants to visit Ramallah in a show of solidarity with fake Palestinians.)
Quote of the Week:
"Our results suggest that if famine were to occur in Gaza, it is unlikely to be due to any limitations posed by Israel on the food supply entering the Gaza Strip." - the 31-page study of a UN committee of experts concluded. There is “no supporting evidence” to conclude that there is a famine in Gaza. - Hamas is the biggest threat to food security in Gaza.
The IJC’s Anti-Israel Advisory Smear
Compiled by Steven Shamrak
The United Nation’s 'advisory' court has ruled Israel’s settlements in the Palestinian territories are illegal, and they must be removed immediately.
"The State of Israel is under the obligation to bring an end to its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible," the ICJ President Nawaf Salam (a Lebanese diplomat) said. (Judea and Samaria are Jewish lands. Israel freed them from Jordanian occupation fighting a defensive war. What laws are those Israel hating judges refer to? They never let us know!)
The case predates the current Israel-Hamas war, and stems from a 2022 request for an advisory opinion by the UN General Assembly. (Interestedly, the 'Ugly Nazi' did not ask the ICJ to address the 'occupation' and annexation of the Golan Heights by Israel, which was freed from Syrian occupation at the same time.)
The Palestinians want the West Bank and Gaza for a future state, with eastern Jerusalem at its capital. Israel considers the entirety of Jerusalem as its “eternal capital.” (In 2005 Israel forcefully removed 8,500 Jews from Gaza to let the people of Gaza self-govern it. Shortly, Gazans elected Hamas; dug the terror tunnels, and supported brutal terror attack on Israel on 7th of October. The experiment did not work!)
During the 1967 war, Israel captured the West Bank, eastern Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights from neighbouring Arab states. (Jordan occupied Judea and Samaria for 20 years and had never tried to create a Palestinian state. After the war it relinquished its claim to the West Bank.)
The same court demanded Israel "immediately halt its military offensive" against Hamas in Rafah, the Palestinian terrorist group’s final stronghold in the Gaza Strip. (This is a systematic anti-Israel smear campaign, which is conducted by International anti-Semitic elite since Jews won the Independence war against seven Arab/Muslim countries in 1947.)
"The so-called legal 'opinion' is a legal obscenity from start to finish," said professor Anne Bayefsky, Director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights, "The Court is the 'World Court' of the United Nations, a body controlled by an anti-Israel mob. The members of the Court are elected by the United Nations. Its legal 'experts' include alleged authorities from such legally-challenged places like China and Somalia."
Jew-haters can’t rest until ‘the Final Solution’ is completed!
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly rejected the court’s conclusion: "No absurd opinion in The Hague can deny this historical truth or the legal right of Israelis to live in their own communities in our ancestral home."
"The opinion is completely detached from the reality of the Middle East: While Hamas, Iran and other terrorist elements are attacking Israel from seven fronts, with the aim of obliterating it, and in the aftermath of the greatest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, the opinion ignores the atrocities that took place on October 7, as well as the security imperative of Israel to defend its territory and its citizens," said the Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oren Marmorstein.
"It should be emphasized that the opinion is blatantly one-sided," Marmostein added. "It ignores the past: The historical rights of the State of Israel and the Jewish people in the Land of Israel.
The Traditional Jew-Haters Do Care
- The European Commission said it would provide the Palestinian Authority with 400 million euros ($435.5 million) in emergency financial support in the coming two months. The money will be disbursed in the form of grants and loans in three payments between July and September.
- Britain's new Labour government said it would resume funding to the UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA. Britain was one of several countries to halt their funding to UNRWA following accusations by Israel that some of the agency's staff were involved in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel that triggered the Gaza war.
At the same time, the ICJ proceedings held in January over an accusation from South Africa that Israel was committing genocide in its war against Hamas following the October 7 attacks – a claim Israel has vehemently denied. (There was no international condemnation of the occupation of the Jewish land by Jordan, Syria and Egypt. Jordan killed approximately 10,000 to 25,000 so-called Palestinians, and deported many more. Israel is not allowed by international hypocrites to deport even convicted terrorist.)
