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.
There are a few thoughts that arise for me when I see Roni Krivoi and hear a brief account of how he escaped from the clutches of Hamas only to be returned to them four days later. Freed: Roni Krivoi Roni was kidnapped by Hamas from the Supernova music festival. He is the first adult…
Israeli Channel 12 News just published a map of Nir Oz with red dots on every residence. You can click on any red dot to see what happened in that house on Oct 7th. Because all the text is in Hebrew, I have translated a random selection of dots as marked on a screenshot of…
What they did to themselves!! This article has a short version and a longer version. Both are stories of mourning. Gazan stories of mourning. And to both of these I add an addendum of my own. An Israeli story of mourning. Ahmed Alnaouq, 29, left Gaza four years ago and now resides in London after…
Call it a dark sense of humour. Call it cynicism. Call it desperation. Whatever it is, Israel is pulling no stops in getting our hostages back home. Israeli authorities cannot release to the public the Hamas horror film (40-something minutes long) as it is reserved for journalists and world leaders who otherwise might “forget” that…
I bring you this article to show what I go through when I want to check something out before even trying to decide if it is worth sharing or not. When writing, I try not to just take someone’s word for something.. I sometimes neglect to do so and have been guilty of sharing a…
I saw the press conference on TV last night and I had my own reaction to the way it ended. After showing how the media reported on it, I will tell you what my thoughts were at the time it was first broadcast and my thoughts after having written this piece, an act that makes…
Naw. They’re not terrorists, Sahar says. She is very proud of Hamas and looks forward to more and more attacks such as the atrocities of October 7. Will her college let her continue studying after this video she uploaded? I suppose we all read that several companies have announced that they will not hire anyone…
On 7 October, shortly after having arrived at Kibbutz Re’im for the Nova Music Festival, Or Levy, 33, and his wife Eynav Elkayam Levy, 32, were greeted with incessant sirens and missiles. With no time to park, car doors left open, they rushed into the nearest mobile bomb shelter, one of many one can see…
Rachel Goldberg spoke with eloquence, passion, and dignity at the 14th November rally in Washington DC rally in support of Israel. She is the mother of Israeli-American civilian Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was abducted by Hamas on 7 Oct. You will likely want to hear her speak but let me just put down a few points…
Israel’s Eretz Nehederet (Wonderful Land) satirical television programme produced this “BBC” interview with Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar. Because it’s supposedly a BBC interview, it is in English. You must watch it. There have to be some moments of laughter even at this terrible time. Israel's most renowned satire show presents an exclusive interview between the…
