Big Surprise: Hamas leader Sinwar DOESN'T want a hostage deal.
By Bassam Tawil
Sadly, many demonstrating in Israel today appear unaware that they are being used by Hamas; that they have walked into Hamas's trap: to force out a leader, Netanyahu, who is finally succeeding in defeating Hamas.
Among the dozens of suspects arrested in the Tuesday morning raids was an employee of the Ministry of Transportation.
The Israeli operation aims to prevent Iran and its Palestinian proxies from opening a new front against Israel from the West Bank.

Thousands of Israelis gathered in Jerusalem on Monday to pay their final respects to Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who became one of the best-known of the hostages held by Hamas.

Why reward terrorists with a State? Why, then, since nearly all Palestinians reject the 2SS, is it still relevant – and why is the claim constantly made that there is “no alternative?”
Present Israeli deterrence is at its lowest point in years, and any US-brokered compromises with Hamas, Hezbollah, or Iran, will be disastrous to us.
There has been a notable escalation in terror attacks in Gush Etzion this past week.

In April, Iran launched an aerial attack. Israel should have responded with conviction to ensure Iran would never dare try it again. Instead, to maintain US support we made only a symbolic gesture, by bombing a radar station. And now here we are again.

How October 7 Conditioned the Israeli Psyche
By Braha Bender
I have struggled with what feels like a new full-time job. Just like you, I am now a trauma management specialist. This job takes a real chunk out of my schedule. Psychological warfare is real.
How can Israel use the consequences of human and societal evolution to help her overcome the massive propaganda assault, both in the West and in the Middle East?
Those in Israel who see the removal of Netanyahu as PM as a higher priority than the defeat of her enemies are idiots at best and traitors at worst.
By Bassam Tawil
Hamas is now in dire need of a ceasefire because its leaders want to retain its power in the Gaza Strip.
Oct 7 is not just in Israel, it’s in India, America, Russia, Africa and in Europe. Our governments have lied to us for too long and fooled us into not seeing the pattern that is killing us.
Countless civilian deaths in both Israeli and Gaza have doubtless resulted from signals sent by the Biden-Harris administration that they are hostile to Israel, determined to have Hamas win, and still fund Iran.
Instead of fixating on a ketz hageulah (end of redemption), which places the burden on G-d to act, we should embrace the approach of being metzapeh l’yeshua and mechakeh lo, never despairing and continuing our mission with hope and purpose.
Radical Islam vandalizes the image of G-d, creates a cult of death and tramples the notion of divine image.
“We’ve been active in the area for a few years, but we’ve seen a definite uptick in activity since the start of the war."
[T]he likelihood of Iran launching another attack against Israel in retaliation for Haniyeh's assassination appears to be receding, not least because Tehran is well aware that, in any major military confrontation with Israel, it will inevitably be the loser.
What better moment than the eve of Tisha Be’Av – ten months distance from Israel’s contemporary national catastrophe of Tisha Be’Av magnitude – to remind oneself of the Biblical warnings against the politics of defamation?

Justified hate, even hate we hide from ourselves, is still hate.
Despite Israel picking off senior Hamas leaders and destroying much of its infrastructure, Sinwar still lives, and he controls the fate of dozens of hostages still alive in Gaza.
We are in a bad spot, but there is one strategy that might succeed: that is to strike a massive blow at the Iranian regime and Iran’s infrastructure,

No matter how many lies the media put out there, the choices are painfully clear.
By Bassam Tawil
The October 7 massacre was orchestrated by Hamas with the sole intent of slaughtering as many Jews as possible as part of its Jihad to destroy Israel. Period.
But what makes Mount Herzl a holy mountain stems from the thousands of soldiers who are buried in the military section. Here are the gravestones that testify to the supreme sacrifice that each of them made for the sake of Am Yisrael and Eretz Yisrael.
Sadly, the charedi leadership sees it as a religious imperative of the highest order to resist any change regarding national service, even for those (estimated at 35%) who are not in yeshiva and not learning.
All these threats against Israel are real.
It is easy to denounce violence by one's opponents. It is far more difficult, but more important, to denounce violence by one's allies.

Since the October 7 attack, satisfaction among the Palestinians in the West Bank with the "performance" of Hamas murderers and rapists has risen to 82%.
Israel quickly denounced the decision.

Israel is facing difficult years of a prolonged existential struggle. To this end, it is imperative for Israel to be led by a leadership that enjoys the broad trust of the public.
Israel must act to halt Palestinian destruction of Jewish archaeological sites in Judea & Samaria.
Our actual duty is to face the truth, which is that the price of a deal is far too high and endangers the existence of the state. The only option is to increase the military pressure.
“We cannot negotiate with those who seek our destruction,” Matan Davidian asserted. “We need a strong and clear response to ensure our future.”
Israel Must Act Now or Risk Being Bled to Death by Its Enemies
The media hasn’t stopped lying to us. It’s only begun to lie.
While all men are created equal, as the American Declaration of Independence put it, based upon the biblical, Judeo-Christian origins of the American Revolution, it is not possible to achieve equality without violence.
The Palestinian Conference for Palestinians Abroad claims to represent 6-7 million Palestinians in over 50 countries, and opposes the PLO and Palestinian Authority.

To realize its achievements, Israel needs a pause of a few years during which the strategy and military power for an offensive will be formulated.
The critical point is that Israel is fighting to safeguard not just its own nation, but the West and the Free World as well. The battle at the moment seems between preserving freedom or having it extinguished by the forces of barbarism, autocracies, and theocrats, but most of all by the passivity of the West
The northern Lebanese district of Baalbek is a logistical hub for Hezbollah, housing critical assets including stockpiles of ballistic missiles and SAM-6 missile batteries as well as tunnel networks for weapons storage.
I have a term I use to describe this fundamental insight: “Am Levadad” – two words lifted from a Biblical verse (Numbers 23:9) that can be translated as “a singular nation”.
If we accept the reality that antisemitism can’t really be eradicated, and if we accept the idea that hatred of Jews is really resistance to the messages we bring, I think there’s only one thing we can do...

five alternatives for the future of Gaza. Israel’s long-term strategy to ensure its continued existence entails the accomplishment of these goals: destruction of Hamas’s military capabilities, abolition of Hamas control in Gaza, and the preservation of good relations with the United States.
It turns out, it was all a big lie. There was no famine, there is no famine and Israel has not been using hunger as a "weapon of war."
Has a president who is, at best, a part-time leader or at worst, no longer capable of facing the enormous challenges of the presidency, played a role in exacerbating these problems?

The quiet release of Shifa Hospital director Mohammed Abu Salmiya to Gaza is a travesty that must not go unpunished.

No Magic 'TRICH-inosis' when you lie down with pigs
By Zionist Organization of America
The pattern of this new policy against heroes who have served their country honorably, combined with the slow walking of needed munitions while Israel is at war, is beyond despicable
Any agreement would require Hezbollah to keep its commitments under UN Resolution 1701 to disarm completely and leave the area south of the Litani River, and no one believes that after 18 years they will suddenly honor their commitments.
Half-an-hour after Hamas supporters first set up their operation outside a Los Angeles synagogue, they maced their first Jew.
Bibi broke protocol by calling out the Biden administration for slow-walking arms shipments. Washington’s real goal, however, is appeasing Iran and toppling him.
Asking Israel to do nothing against Hamas and Hezbollah after eight months of escalating aggression is akin to asking the United States, after the 9/11 attacks, to leave Al Qaeda untouched and allow it to remain in power.
Israel has made eliminating the threat from the Gaza-based militant group a central war aim, but it’s not entirely clear at what point that condition will be met.
By Bassam Tawil
The October 7 atrocities serve as a reminder that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not about improving the living conditions of the Palestinians or strengthening their economy. Instead, the conflict is about the desire of the majority of Palestinians to slaughter Jews and destroy Israel.
The revival of anti-masking laws is necessary to curb the post-Oct. 7 surge in antisemitism. But will Democratic-controlled legislatures pass them?
