Israel has One Option in Gaza

by Rabbi Aaron Hurwitz

If your neighbours raped and slaughtered your family and livestreamed it, would you let them move back next door? And remember: Not a single Gazan has offered information on the whereabouts of Israeli hostages. That says it all.

On October 7, 2023, the Arabs in Gaza forfeited any claim they may have had to the territory. Israel must now help them immigrate to other countries. That day, Hamas - joined by other terror groups and many thousands of civilian supporters - attacked Israel. They murdered 1,200 people, mostly civilians. They gang-raped, beheaded, and dismembered victims.

Gazans celebrated; children played soccer with the heads of beheaded victims. Respected, well-educated Gazans held innocent Israelis captive, starving them and forcing them into slave labour.

The Prime Minister’s Office has suggested, among other possibilities, that after Hamas and its infrastructure are destroyed, Gaza’s civilians could return under Israeli military control, alongside a coalition of “friendly” Arab states ruling as an unelected colonial autocracy. This is fantasy!

-      Why should those who committed and supported October 7th’s barbarism be rewarded with a home in our land - right next to us?

-      Why should we live beside terrorists?

-      Why should our sons and daughters die or be maimed so that these Islamo-Nazis can live in peace?

The only sane answer is emigration. Using both carrot and stick, we must incentivize Gaza’s civilians to build new lives elsewhere. Our diplomats should work tirelessly to secure resettlement in countries that support them, such as South Africa, South Sudan, Yemen, Qatar, Indonesia, Ireland, Norway, Slovenia, France - or, as Ambassador Huckabee called it, Franc-en-Stein, and Spain. (How about Iran, Iraq Egypt, Morocco – all Muslim countries that expelled their Jews after Israel was created?)

Food for Thought: by Steven Shamrak

What would you do if intruders came to your house, which historically and legally belongs to your family, and claimed half of it? And you know that police and judges will do nothing to remove them, only encourage them to throw you out, and devastate your family.

Zionism is the Jewish National Independence Movement.

Progress on the Northern Front

- Israel stands ready to support Lebanon in its efforts to disarm Hezbollah, and to work together towards a more secure and stable future for both nations, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated. Lebanese army plans to begin working toward the disarmament of Hezbollah and all other non-state armed groups by the end of 2025.

- Interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said that Damascus was not ready to commit to a full peace accord with Israel but would support an agreement that strengthens Syria’s security after more than a decade of civil war. Al-Sharaa confirmed that “advanced talks” are underway between Israeli and Syrian negotiation teams.

The UN's Antisemitically Distorted Reports

Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian, released a video footage from social media across the Gaza Strip showing crowded markets and available food supplies. Alian addressed the issue, stating: “Against the backdrop of Hamas’ false starvation campaign, it is troubling and serious to see how the UN and other international organizations continue to spread unfounded reports of famine in Gaza. While Israel is working to enable the entry of massive quantities of food, medicine, and humanitarian aid into the Strip, aid organizations choose to echo the propaganda of a terrorist organization that exploits the population as human shields to ensure its survival.” (Through the history of all human conflicts not a single country provides enemies with food, electricity, water, tents etc. Only Israel must – holding Israel to different standards is anti-Semitism.)

Shorten the Timeline for Conquering Gaza

The Prime Minister’s Office announced on Wednesday evening that, ahead of approval of the plans for the operation in Gaza City, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has directed that the timetables - for seizing control of the last terrorist strongholds and the defeat of Hamas - be shortened. Israel tells Gaza City hospitals to ready for mass evacuations as war plans advance. (Hopefully, it will include removal of the enemy population from Gaza.)

Anti-Semites are United Against the E1 Plan.

Twenty-one countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Britain, as well as the European Union, condemned Israel for approving the E1 settlement plan. (There are NO Arab states on the list. They understate the nature of so-called Palestinians better the international anti-Semites.)

Egypt Reinforcing Gaza Border

The Qatari newspaper "Al-Arabi Al-Jadid" reported that "the Egyptian army is reinforcing its forces on the border with Gaza." Egypt fears the possibility that the IDF will occupy areas not yet under its control in Gaza City and northern Gaza, "which opens the door to Israeli attempts to push civilians toward the Egyptian border." (By not allowing Gazans to leave the war zone, Egypt violates two refugee treaties it has signed.)

Anti-Semitic Enemies not welcome in Israel

After cutting ties with Israel, Barcelona Mayor Jaume Collboni has been blocked from entering Israel. In May, Barcelona’s city council voted to cut institutional ties with the Israeli government and suspend its friendship agreement with the city of Tel Aviv. Israel has blocked several foreign officials in recent months from visiting the country, citing anti-Israel statements or concerns that they would take actions against the state during their trip.

Foreign Journalists into Gaza?

Twenty-eight countries, including Britain, France and Germany, called on Israel on Thursday to allow “immediate independent foreign media access” into the war-torn Gaza Strip. Israel has blocked foreign and Israeli reporters from entering Strip since start of 22-month-old war. (Gaza is the most densely populated region by 'journalists'. There are hundreds of Hamas affiliated 'journalists' in Gaza. Many of those terrorists have been killed by IDF. Does Israel need more anti-Semitic propaganda agitators from the Western Israel-haters?)

The ‘Red Line’ Israel Must Cross

Egypt warns Israel that mass displacement of Gazans is a ‘red line’.

“If the Israelis manage to displace them, I can assure you that will be the end of the Palestinian cause,” Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last week that talks are underway with several countries about taking in displaced Palestinians. The countries involved are South Sudan, Somaliland, Ethiopia, Libya, and Indonesia.

The UN Figures on Aid Deliveries are Misleading

The UN bodies claim that Israel is not allowing sufficient quantities of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. Since May, according to UN data, only 3,553 trucks entered the Strip. In reality, the State of Israel permitted the entry of nearly 9,200 trucks. This represents a gap of almost 6,000 trucks. The UN published data only includes trucks delivered by UN agencies and a limited number of aid organizations working with it. It does not account for assistance provided by other actors in the humanitarian system, including various states, and additional international organizations.

Israel is to ‘Erase’ Idea of the Fake State

Israel gave final approval to a E1 settlement project in the heart of the Judea and Samaria. Construction in the E1 area has been frozen for two decades amid fierce international opposition. Critics warn it would put an end to hopes for a viable, contiguous Palestinian state. The plan is to build 3,401 homes in E1, which covers about 12 sq km (4.6 sq miles).  "The Palestinian state is being erased from the table, not with slogans but with actions," said the Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich. ('THEY' say that the Jewish settlements on the Jewish land are illegal under international law, but never said which one. Gaza, Judea, and Samaria are Jewish lands, and were taken by Israel in defensive war against 5 countries!)

Hamas Terrorists Killing Gaza Civilians

A released video footage Monday showing Hamas fighters assaulting, abusing and shooting at Gaza residents across the Gaza Strip. The footage has circulated widely on social media in recent days. (This is not reported by the Western, anti-Israel media.)

End Useless UN Peacekeeping in Lebanon

Israel has formally lodged a request for an end to the UN's peacekeeping force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) with the United States, as the UN Security Council (UNSC) begins the yearly debate for the renewal of the mandate. The main argument that UNIFIL has failed in its core mission of maintaining peace in southern Lebanon. "The force was intended to be temporary from the outset and has failed in its fundamental task – to prevent Hezbollah's entrenchment south of the Litani River," Sa'ar argued, calling for UNIFIL's mandate to be terminated immediately. The foreign minister also accused UNIFIL of not simply failing to combat Hezbollah, but of actively and intentionally presenting a misleading picture of the situation to the UNSC.

Quote of the Week:

"There is only one way to beat the lies, and that's with the truth. Israel has no starvation policy! The only deliberate starvation policy that we see in Gaza is the starving of our hostages. We have sent millions and millions of text messages, and phone calls. This has never happened before in a war that the army that is fighting terrorists in an urban environment calls on the civilians to leave, and the enemy shoots them if they try to leave. And then Israel is blamed for genocide - that's ridiculous. If we had a starvation policy, now, nearly two years after the beginning of the war, everybody in Gaza would be dead. But they're not, because that's not our policy." - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Giving up Jewish Land won't Bring Peace

by Larry Domnitch

Twenty years ago, on August 15, 2005, Israel forces dismantled its Gaza communities, expelling over ten thousand Israeli residents from homes which they had built with dedication and hard work.

After Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza:

-      Rocket firings on Israeli communities in the Gaza envelope continued.

-      Hundreds of miles of terror tunnels continued to be constructed with the financial help of international aid.

-      Terrorist attacks from Gaza continued.

-      Civilian casualties near the Gaza border mounted.

-      Israeli soldiers continued to fall in operations to prevent terror from Gaza.

-      International mainstream media outlets like the BBC continued to manufacture false narratives fed to them by Hamas, giving further incentive to the terrorists.

-      UNWRA schools and summer camps in Gaza, basically Hamas-run, continued to teach hate and train youth for Jihad.

Then Hamas carried out the atrocities of October 7.

Today, some western nations, caving to pressure of their Muslim populations and woke voters, are lining up to offer recognition of a Palestinian State. No doubt, voices around the world will be heard offering words declaring that this is the solution. But in reality, they are offering support to an entity that would perpetuate more terror and destruction.

Peace was not achieved by giving the Palestinian Arabs Gush Katif (Jewish land), nor will it be achieved by giving them a state. (Land for peace policy turned into land for terrorism. Enough!)
