Time to Change Strategy Against Terrorism
by Yehudit Katsover & Nadia Matar
The relentless onslaught of deadly attacks plaguing Israel means that the government of Israel must rethink its strategy for combatting terror and its offshoots.
The soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces, the Israel Security Agency, the police and other security agencies risk their lives day and night to protect us.
Firm and forceful security and thriving Jewish communities are essential, yet to effectively eradicate the roots of terrorism, a novel approach is required.
The government must lead settlement activity with strength, resolve and steadfast national pride. Firm and forceful security is essential and, no less so, thriving Jewish communities. But they are not enough to effectively eradicate the roots of terrorism.
So far, the responses of this government have been more or less similar to those of preceding ones. Our enemies interpret this as giving them a green light to continue on their terrorist path without facing any real consequences.
No more excuses about it not being the “right time.” The international community has consistently condemned Israel for every Zionist action it has taken since – and even before – the establishment of the state, and will continue to do so in response to any future actions.
It is better for Israel to accept this measure of condemnation for a significant and commendable national act that will prevent terrorism, rather than to receive the same denunciation for the legalization of an outpost or stony hilltop, no matter how important they may be.
The Israeli government must take this crucial step of sovereignty out of full recognition of Israel's moral justification in doing so.
Members of Elan Ganeles' family shared memories of him after the 26-year-old was killed in Israel by Palestinian terrorists. There was no condemnation of the killing of the US citizen from the Biden administration. Biden is still financing and supporting enemies of Israel!
Food for Thought. by Steven Shamrak
Enemies of Israel are killing and terrorising Jews, using bullets, stones and rockets. Any self-respectful nation, be it a democracy or a totalitarian regime, would not tolerate it, and have crushed them and removed the terror-supporting population from its land a long time ago. The political leadership of Israel must realise that whatever Israel does or does not do, international Jew-haters will continue to criticise the Jewish state. Jews will never have their love, but respect can be earned by decisive and swift action against Israel-hating so-called Palestinians!
Sickening 'Normality' Must End
- Car ramming in Samaria left a toddler in critical condition.
- Shooting attack near Beit Hagai. A 65-year-old man was injured in the south of Mount Hebron.
Jewish Idiotic Self-Hate is Limitless
Israeli politician and left-wing activist Yair (‘Yaya’) Fink opened an online crowdfunding campaign to raise money for the residents of Huwara, whose property was damaged in settler riots following the killing of Yagel Ya'acov and Hillel Menachem Yaniv. Prior to the riots, two Israeli brothers were murdered in a shooting attack in the Palestinian town of Huwara. "Every day, I look down at the murderous village of Huwara where the murderer of my sons is still walking free, where they handed out pastries and celebrated after the murder," the Esti Yaniv, mother of two brothers, said. "I was horrified to hear of this dreadful campaign, launched a day after many of the residents of Huwara celebrated after the murder of my sons." (Many Leftist Jews, including Israel's university academics, are actively participating in the BDS anti-Israel movement.)
IAEA Became a Protector of Iranian Nuclear Program
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly criticized International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) Director Rafael Grossi for claiming that an Israeli military attack on Iran's nuclear weapons program would be illegal under international law. Grossi also said he had held "constructive" talks with Iranian officials after the discovery of uranium particles enriched to near weapons-grade level.
Hamas and PIJ launch rockets at Israel in response to every successful action by Israeli security forces in Judea and Samaria. The terrorist organizations plan to step up attacks toward the month of Ramadan (March 22 to April 20, 2023) as a catalyst for a third intifada. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh published a statement on Feb. 23 in which he said: “the campaign against the enemy is entering a stage of strong desperation (by Israel) and breaking the occupiers and expelling them from the land of our fathers and grandfathers.” (Enemies of Jews do not care about facts and history of the Eretz-Israel.)
Credit Rating at ‘A+’ with a ‘Stable Outlook’
Fitch Ratings affirmed Israel’s Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (LTFC IDR) at ‘A+’ with a Stable Outlook. Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich said in response, “Israel’s economy is strong and with God’s help it will remain so. We are succeeding in fortifying the State of Israel as an island of stability, a growing economy, and an excellent place for investment. The credit ratings prove that we are taking all the right steps to move the State of Israel forward.”
‘Palestinians’ Recruited to Fight Ukraine for Russia
Putin is recruiting ‘Palestinians’ from Lebanon and paying them $350 a month to fight the Ukrainians. Recruitment is being carried out by the Palestinian Authority’s embassy in Beirut in coordination with the Lebanese-based, Iranian-proxy Hezbollah terrorist organization. Despite being the third or fourth generation born in Lebanon, Lebanon refuses to provide “Palestinians” born after 1969 with official registration documents, instead keeping them under permanent refugee status. Lebanese ‘Palestinians’ are restricted from many employment opportunities as a result. (Russia is another place were fake Palestinians can be moved to from the Jewish land.)
Bibi does not Honour the Coalition Deal
Avi Maoz, the Noam party’s sole lawmaker, quit the government, saying he did not believe he would be put in charge of a “Jewish national identity” hierarchy, as stipulated in his coalition agreement with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party. He wrote that he “was shocked to find there was no serious intention of honouring the coalition deal.”
CIA Director: Nuclear Iran in Weeks
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director William Burns said that Iran now has the capability to create a nuclear weapon within a matter of weeks. “They’ve advanced very far to the point where it would only be a matter of weeks before they could enrich to 90 percent, if they chose to cross that line," Burns said. (Should Israel wait and be at the mercy of Iran or act now?)
Quote of the Week:
“The real opponents of Zionism can never be placated by any diplomatic formula: their objection to the Jews is that the Jews exist, and in this particular case, they exist in Palestine.” - Chaim Weizmann, the first President of Israel.
The Biblical Land Titles
by Steven Shamrak
Christianity and Islam insist they have inherited the Jewish tradition and believe in the monotheistic G-d. All three religions include the Torah (Old Testament) as the written word of G-d. It is considered a great sin to disobey or falsify the words of the Almighty! I would like to present for your perusal two biblical land titles:
“Sarah died in Kiriatharba (Hebron)…” “Avraham weighed-out for Ephron the silver that he spoke of in the hearing of the sons of Cheis, four hundred silver shekels, negotiable currency.” “This became Avraham's (possession) through a purchase before the eyes of the sons of Cheis...” (Genesis 23:2, 16, 18)
Abraham made sure the purchase of land at Hebron was recorded as a legal sale, not as a gift.
“Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, to you have I given it, as I spoke unto Moses. From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the Great Sea (Mediterranean Sea) toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.” (Joshua1:3, 4; Re: Deuteronomy 11:24)
“This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.” “Ashdod, its towns and its villages; Gaza, its towns and its villages; unto the Brook of Egypt, the Great Sea being the border thereof.” (Joshua15:20, 47)
Religious people believe that all that is written in the Torah by G-d is purposeful. Therefore, if you are a Jew, Christian or Muslim you must accept the will of G-d and recognize the right of the Jewish people to live on all the land given to them by G-d. Otherwise, you have been living a life of self-deception or hypocrisy.
