The Plan - Oslo All Over Again
Josh Katzen
The US President Donald Trump’s new 20-point Mideast peace plan, based in large part on his “Peace to Prosperity” plan issued during his first administration, lays out conditions that on the surface seem like common sense. Palestinians must stop incitement. They must stop raising their children to hate Jews.
These sound like reasonable benchmarks. But the problem is simple: Every single one of these measures has already been tried. They were called the Oslo Accords. And they failed miserably.
Through it all, Israel kept its side of the deal. It withdrew from territory, dismantled checkpoints, and allowed weapons for Palestinian Authority security forces and police. And the Palestinians violated every one of their obligations.
They did not stop the incitement. Instead, the PA used its schools, television, mosques and official speeches to double down on a culture of hatred. Children learned songs about killing Jews. Maps erased Israel. Martyrdom was glorified.
The Palestinian police force became a terrorist army in uniform. During the Second Intifada in Israel during the years 2000 to 2005, members of this very force turned their guns on Israeli civilians. The international supervisors, for their part, were either powerless or complicit. Rather than insist on Palestinian compliance, they excused terror, condemned Israel’s self-defense and effectively enabled further violence.
The result was nearly 1,100 Israeli deaths from increased Palestinian terrorism. Israel endured bus bombings, suicide bombings in restaurants, stabbing attacks, car-rammings.
Now comes Trump’s plan, which, despite the new branding, demands that Israel once again believe in the fairy tale of Palestinian moderation. To believe that it will succeed requires an act of wilful blindness. (The 'experiment' must end - Israel needs to decisively neutralise its enemies, and reclaim Jewish land.)
Trump Signed Executive Order 'Assuring the Security' of Qatar on Day He Met with Netanyahu. The order states that the White House will now consider “any armed attack” on Qatar “as a threat to the peace and security of the United States.” And, in the event of any attack, the US would take “all lawful and appropriate measures - including diplomatic, economic and, if necessary, military - to defend the interests of the United States and the State of Qatar.” (Qatar is Iran’s ally, and harbouring leaders of the terrorist organization, Hamas. What would the US do if Qatar had protected Al Qaeda leaders, like Pakistan was hiding Osama bin Laden? Now Trump ordered Israel to stop bombing Gaza. Why did President Trump not order Qatar to turn over the Hamas leadership?)
HAG SUKKOT – Happy Sukkot!
Food for Thought: by Steven Shamrak
Not long ago, Hamas supporters were calling for the genocide of Jews by chanting: “From the river to the sea Palestine will be free”. Now, international anti-Semites are accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. It makes perfect sense to Jew-haters only! Unfortunately, there are too many of them around.
Zionism is the Jewish National Independence Movement.
Your support is appreciated.
MK Simcha Rothman says US President Donald Trump's proposal, which includes release of 250 terrorists with blood on their hands, is a "one huge price". (How many Al Qaeda terrorists did the US release from Guantanamo prison during the 20 years war in Afghanistan?)
Gaza-bound Aid Flotilla had NO Aid
The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) was carrying plenty of activists, but no aid. The flotilla, which consisted of 40 vessels, was intercepted on Thursday during Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. "It was never about bringing aid to Gazans, but it was all about the headlines and the social media followings," Dean Elsdunne, Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in the video as he walked through the empty flotilla vessel.
The US President Donald Trump told reporters that the Hamas terrorist organization has three to four days to respond to his 20-point peace. Trump said. "All of the Arab countries have signed up, the Muslim countries have signed up, Israel's all signed up. We're just waiting for Hamas." (4 days have gone already! Gaza ceasefire talks will last several days, or weeks. Israel must remove the enemy population from Gaza, and reclaim sovereignty over it.)
The US to Pay for Disarming Hezbollah
Trump’s administration approved $230 million for Lebanon’s security forces to disarm Hezbollah. The funding included $190 million for the Lebanese Armed Forces and $40 million for the Internal Security Forces. (The Lebanese government has never had real will to disarm Hezbollah. Why should the US taxpayers pay for this? The terrorist group sustained heavy losses during its war with Israel that ended last November, which Trump did not let Israel finish. Israel could use $230 million to finish the job!)
Air raid sirens sounded in Ashdod on eve of Yom Kippur. Hamas launched five rockets from northern Gaza toward Israel. Four were intercepted and one landed in an open area.
British PM has Blood on his Hands
British Jews have been warning about the lethal incitement against them for a long time, but have been totally ignored. Keir Starmer says now he will do everything possible to keep British Jews safe. Jews safe. He said hatred against Jews is rising once again and Britain must defeat it once again. But his government and his party have been fuelling it. The all-too regular demonstrations against Israel, organised by Hamas and the far left and supported by many of his MPs. Starmer has done absolutely nothing to stop the grotesque and patently ludicrous genocide smear against Israel. Instead, his government has repeatedly recycled Hamas propaganda lies about Israel.
Israeli security forces uncovered 15 rockets in the Ramallah area. Eight of the newly found rockets were armed with explosives. Alongside them, forces also uncovered 18 explosive devices, firearms, explosives and other munitions. About two weeks ago, security forces exposed a cell in the Ramallah area that was manufacturing rockets intended for launch at Israel. A week earlier, a test launch was carried out from the PA village of Ni’ama toward the Israeli community of Beit Ur al-Tahta. (There is no difference between Hamas, Fatah or the PA.)
Quote of the Week:
“Is there still a chance that something good might come out of this? That the enemy’s stubbornness will once again save us from ourselves, as it has many times before." - Bezalel Smotrich, Finance Minister (Religious Zionist Party), stated that agreement to the plan is “an act of wilful blindness that ignores every lesson of October 7.”
Ask Supporters of ‘Palestine’
(FaceBook post)
If Palestine is a country, one should be able to answer a few basic questions on it:
1. When was it founded and by whom?
2. What were its borders?
3. What was its capital?
4. What were its major cities?
5. What was its underlying economy made of?
6. What form did its government have?
7. Can you name at least one Palestinian leader before Arafat?
8. Was Palestine ever recognised by a country whose existence, at one time or another (before 1967)?
9. What was the name of its currency?
10. Since there is no such country today, what caused its destruction and when did it happen?
11. Do the people you mistakenly call "Palestinians" really have a genuine ethnic identity that gives them the right for self-determination?
12. Why hadn’t they ever tried to gain independence until the Arabs suffered a crushing defeat in the ‘Six Day’ War?
(Please, ask these questions anti-Semitic useful idiots – they will have no answer!)
