Insanity and Incitement - the New Norm
by Ron Jager
The political parties heading the opposition, the progressive mainstream media, and the judicial system, have all lined up behind forces of insanity and blindly supported attempts to tear Israel apart.
Any psychiatric examination must answer basic questions concerning a patient's mental capacity. Can the patient differentiate between what is real and what is imaginary, differentiate between right and wrong, differentiate between acceptable and forbidden behaviour, legal versus illegal, and differentiate between good and bad?
Those Israelis protesting since the barbaric murders of the six hostages, who were on the verge of being rescued by IDF soldiers, seem to have lost that ability.
Instead, we have witnessed an endless string of road blockings, bonfires on highways, deliberate clashes with the police, limited free movement for all Israelis, sieges on the Knesset and homes of the Prime Minister and other elected officials. These actions have all become the Left's new norm.
The Cabinet has been falsely labelled a “death cabinet” that cares only about its own political survival, despite the successful release of tens of hostages in a deal, and heroic rescue operations authorized by the cabinet and elimination of Hamas leaders.
Hiding behind the poster pictures of the hostages, the demonstrators have done everything in their power to facilitate the collapse of public order, all for the sake of bringing on early elections. Despite these actions, most of the general public has remained united. (The same political organisations and groups conducted demonstrations for many months against a judicial reform the government was planning to introduce before the war in Gaza. Their main objective is to remove current government undemocratically!)
These efforts to normalize insanity and incitement have unequivocally failed, let there be no doubt. The forces of surrender, appeasement, and insurrection can boast one major success although they have lost the trust of the general public.
Despite the raucous voices of lunacy and incitement, there seems to be a general realization that Israel must stop empowering the genocidal appetite of Hamas and destroy once and for all the instigators of the ongoing war of terror from Hamas in the Gaza Strip, from Judea and Samaria (aka 'West Bank'), and from Hezbollah in the north.
Food for Thought by Steven Shamrak
The Biden administration is deliberately inflaming the political situation in Israel by anti-government rhetoric. The US is consistently blaming Netanyahu for the failure of the hostage deal. But the ‘best friend’ put no pressure on and does not condemn Hamas for its uncompromised position, and killing of the most remaining hostages!

Successful Test of Magen Or Laser System
Israel successfully tested the Magen Or (Light Shield) laser system. The Magan Or system is designed to intercept aerial threats such as rockets, unmanned aerial vehicles, and cruise missiles, and its main advantage is its significantly lower cost compared with kinetic interception systems that use missiles. Magen Or uses a fiber laser to generate a laser beam to destroy an airborne target.
Pentagon: Israel has not Violated Humanitarian Law
A spokesman for the US Department of Defense disputes the suggestion that Israel had broken international law, prompted by the decision by the United Kingdom to suspend arms export licenses to Israel for 30 days.
“Those processes are ongoing. As of now, we have not determined at this point that Israel has violated international humanitarian law, but those assessments, to include those of the State Department looking at allegations, are still ongoing,” Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, said. (It is still quite an ambiguous statement. After all, it is only about the Jewish state.)
Hamas Rebuilding its Numbers in Northern Gaza
Hamas is successfully rebuilding its abilities in northern Gaza. The IDF is not present in large numbers as it was in the initial months of the war. Approximately 3,000 new Hamas terrorists are operating in northern Gaza. These are not terrorists who moved from southern Gaza to northern Gaza; rather, this is new manpower, which the terror group enlisted in recent months. (Hamas has plenty of eager 'innocent' civilians to recruit from.)
Gallant, Win the War or Resign
IDF officers and combat soldiers slept in front of the home of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in order to express their protest at his conduct in recent months. The protest encampment is specifically objecting to the Minister's approach to the war in Gaza and the Philadelphi Corridor, and expects to operate on an ongoing basis. The officers demanded of Minister Gallant to either win the war or resign. (This protest has not been reported by 'Israel-friendly' international press.)
The Justice Department announced criminal charges Tuesday against Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and other senior militants in connection with the Oct. 7, 2023, rampage (terrorist attack - call it as it is) in Israel. The seven-count criminal complaint filed in federal court in New York City includes charges of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and conspiracy to murder US nationals (40 US citizens were killed during the attack). The impact of the case may be mostly symbolic given that Sinwar is believed to be hiding in tunnels in Gaza and the Justice Department says three of the six defendants are believed now to be dead.
Judea and Samaria is a 'Combat Zone'
Due to a significant increase in terrorism in Judea and Samaria, the IDF has reclassified the area as the secondary hostility zone, after the Gaza Strip. This is only an initial directive, and a significant change on the ground will take time. However, a series of operations are expected soon throughout Judea and Samaria. The recent severe attacks, such as the double bombing in Gush Etzion, the attack in Tarqumiya, and the thwarted attack in Ateret, prove that an intense offensive of the entire sector is necessary. (There is not much difference between the hateful terrorist mentality of Arab population of Gaza and the ones in the West Bank.)
UN Chief has not Condemned Hamas Terrorists
The Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, is facing a barrage of criticism for failing to explicitly condemn the Hamas terrorist movement for its murders of one American and five Israeli citizens. (There are no calls for an ‘emergency’ meeting of the UNSC. It is such a predictable behaviour of the anti-Semitic ‘Ugly Nazi’.)
Quote of the Week:
"You may have forgotten why we are in Gaza, but we do not forget the faces, the families, and the demand for the release of our hostages. Today I am here to remind you and the world that we will never forget our sons, daughters, brothers and sisters who are being abused by monsters. We won't stop until we bring everyone home. Today I call on the Security Council to direct its resources to where they are needed: support for Israel, pressure on Hamas and unequivocal condemnation of the barbaric terrorist organizations that continue to hold innocent people. It is time for the UN Council to adopt a clear and unequivocal decision." - Danny Danon, Israeli ambassador to the UN – The anti-Semitic 'Ugly Nazi' will never do it. It is up to Israel to change the ugly status-quo, by decisively clearing Gaza from the enemies.

UK Suspends Arms Exports to Israel
Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the UK would be suspending 30 out of 350 arms export licences to Israel, affecting equipment such as parts for fighter jets, helicopters and drones. Boris Johnson questioned Sir Keir and foreign secretary David Lammy’s decision to suspend dozens of licences, asking “Do they want Hamas to win? Hamas is still holding many innocent Jewish hostages while Israel tries to prevent a repeat of the October 7 massacre.”
Biden Said Netanyahu isn’t Doing Enough
During a rare general strike in Israel to protest the failure to return hostages held in Gaza, the US President Joe Biden said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu isn’t doing enough to reach a deal for a cease-fire and hostage release. Biden spoke to reporters as he arrived at the White House for a Situation Room meeting with advisers involved in negotiating a deal. Asked if Netanyahu was doing enough, Biden responded, “No.”
Walz Refused to Blame Hamas for the Attack
During an interview, Walz praised anti-Israel Muslims, saying that pro-Palestine protestors are “speaking out for all the right reasons.” He also criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, echoing similar remarks from President Joe Biden, who said that the Israeli leader is not doing enough to end the ongoing war. In 2018, Walz applauded Muslim cleric Imam Asad Zaman, who praised Hitler. Recently, Walz refused to condemn the Hamas Oct. 7 attack on Israel, and praised anti-Israel protesters.
After the recovery of six slain hostages from Gaza, Danny Danon, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, demanded action from the UN Security Council. Danon called for an urgent "briefing to condemn Hamas in the strongest possible terms" and "to address the dire situation of the 101 hostages still held in captivity." Danon pointed to the fact that "the council has yet to condemn Hamas or act decisively for the hostages" in the nearly 11 months since the militant group's Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
The UNSC to Hold Meeting on Hostages in Gaza
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) met on Wednesday for the first time to discuss the issue of the hostages. "After 11 months since the kidnapping of hundreds of innocent civilians, it is certainly time for the Security Council to address this issue,' Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon said.
UNRWA is the anti-Israel Terrorist Arm of the UN
Revelations by Israel’s government about the United Nations Relief and Works Agency have shattered the group’s carefully cultivated image as a humanitarian organization, revealing it to be no less than an arm of Hamas in Gaza. A new film, “UNRWA at War,” focuses on the educational side of UNRWA’s activities, in which children are taught not just to hate, but to kill. Just as it did in Gaza, UNRWA is inculcating children with the same genocidal creed in Judea and Samaria, only in this case for Fatah. A 20-minute film was released by the Jerusalem-based center for Near East Policy Research.
Tim Walz, the running mate of US Vice President Kamala Harris, called on the Israeli government to start moving towards a two-state solution. “The Palestinian people have every right to life and liberty themselves. We need to continue, I think to put the leverage on to make sure we move towards a two-state solution. We need the Netanyahu government to start moving in that direction. It's a humanitarian crisis. It can't stand the way it is. And we need to find a way that people can live together in this and we’ve said it and continue to say it, getting a ceasefire with the return of the hostages and then moving towards a sustainable two-state solution is the only way forward,” said Walz. (On the 7th of October, Hamas made its move towards a one-state solution. Genocide of Jews is the vision of most ‘Palestinians'. There must be no room for the enemy terror state of the fake people on the Jewish land!)
