A growing collection as I examine various aspects of the war against Hamas first and Hezbollah a bit later. Hamas essentially declared war against Israel on 7 October 2023 when terrorists infiltrated our communities and — in a rampage of horror — tortured, slaughtered and abducted men, women, and children of all ages. Hezbollah has been showering the northern communities with dailyl rockets and missiles.
Amjad Taha, an expert in strategic political affairs, writer, and journalist, has an active “X” feed. He lives in the UK. Taha was interviewed by Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Fleur Hassan-Nahoum on her LinkedIn page and she informs us that Taha is regional director of the British Middle East Center for Studies and Research and adviser…
Call me inhumane. Call me cruel. But I am sorry – this does not make me feel pride. It is one thing to open a humanitarian corrider even at the expense of having to hold off the fighting for 4 hours, letting Hamas do whatever they need to do to regroup during that time. It…
I first wrote about Meir Baruchin in 2020, when he was fired for telling high school students in his civics classes that they should not enlist in the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). Two days ago, on 9 November, he was arrested. The charge, according to Haaretz, the only English language news site to cover the…
Here are two pieces that should bring smiles to your faces. Israel Media Room (see addendum at the end of this article) shared these with us. This is a new service described on their Facebook page as “Israeli media professionals providing relevant, fact-checked news on the situation in Israel.” ONE: Reconnecting with Ancient Jewish Gaza…
Yesterday afternoon (7 Nov), Elchanan Gruner, a journalist with HaKol HaYehudi, uploaded a video onto “X” in which we see an IDF soldier planting a tree in Gaza near the uprooted Israeli communities of Dugit and Elei Sinai. That, in itself, is a remarkable act which I applaud. It reminded me of the American astronauts…
. . . and then when arrested and the judge extends his remand, he successfully petitions the judge that his name be withheld from publication because . . . get this: because it may “unjustifiably” ruin his good reputation and because he has Jewish clients. This was reported in ynet in Hebrew. I have not…
Here is just one Gazan. Just one. We don’t know how many like him there are. We don’t know how many, unlike him, are praying for Israel to defeat the Hamas terrorist devil. Forever. But let us not be naive. Where there is one like this, there are more. Hear him. Believe him. I will…
“So far so good” — this was the last message Ofir Metzger got at 8:50 on Saturday morning, 7 October 2023 from her grandfather who was abducted by Hamas. Other than knowing that Yoram and Tamar Metzger arrived alive in Gaza, the family has received no news about them. * * * * * Yoram…
More to the point, Luai Ahmed speaks out about responses to this war and what it shows about Islamic and Arab culture. I bring you the four most recent “X” posts available at the moment of writing this piece. I let Ahmed’s words stand for themselves. I must admit that Yemen was not on my…
Doctors Without Borders, or MSF (Médecins Sans Frontières), has a charter in which they claim to remain neutral in face of religious, racial and political strife in the countries in which they work. They manage to maintain that neutrality in every place except the one place in the world connected with the Jews. After a…
